Through differing design concepts, different cultural views have been expressed in the many submissions received. The jury selected projects that responded in a more comprehensive way to the questions raised by the contest, interweaving visionary approaches with pragmatic and real solutions.
Two macro-categories were identified by the jury as guidelines for the selection of the winning projects. In the first, the shipwreck is preserved in its entirety in the place of the accident, fixing permanently the image of the trauma. Thus, the shipwreck becomes a container, a fertile territory for reuse. In the second category, the shipwreck is manipulated through complex operations of cutting, removal and engagement to obtain new relations between the remaining fragments and Giglio Island. The memory of the accident is awakened through small development of meanings and objects.
