Crescent, Waterfront building complex in Salerno, Italy.
Description
Crescent is a semicircular building complex along Salerno's coastline featuring an open shopping gallery, residential apartments, and commercial areas. The seven-story structure maximizes the waterfront location, blending public spaces with private residences throughout its curved design.
History
Construction began in 2011 as part of a major urban renewal effort in Salerno's Santa Teresa district. The project aimed to reconnect the waterfront area with the city's broader urban fabric.
Culture
The semicircular facade blends classical arches with contemporary materials, reinterpreting a southern Italian building tradition for today. Visitors can experience this mix of old and new while strolling through the open shopping galleries.
Practical
The complex sits directly next to Liberty Square and the Mediterranean waterfront, making it easy to reach on foot. Visitors can walk through covered galleries and find parking, shops, and services throughout the structure.
