Third place was awarded to Francesco Tonnarelli & Andrea Cippitelli of Macerata, Italy, who propose building a new recreational area around the remains. A floating boardwalk would provide access from the town to the wreck and new volumes and platforms that offer new opportunities for uses related to activities connected with the sea. Their proposal becomes a seaside attraction and a new public park on the water.
Sharing third place is Wynn Chandra of London, who proposes a cross between a machine and geology at the site of the wreckage. Chandra’s design would create a new geological structure in which the natural water environments are tied inside of a matrix to the rock strata of the Island of Giglio.

Hi Bidgette, i love you articles they are well written and interesting
A great page from the BBC on the salvage operation: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19962191
I’m not sure that it’s always so valuable to post conceptual stuff, granted, the competition may have occured, someone might have one, but none of these will ever be executed in reality. There is already a process in place that will salvage the remains as was aired on a recent 60 minutes see
