Discovering Asinara
We have designed a journey through Asinara Island (Sardinia) that guides visitors across its evolving habitats and historic structures. Along the way, moments of pause and discovery encourage connection with the island’s unique environment.
After arriving in the Harbour of Fornelli, visitors are guided, from South to North, by immersive interventions, through an educational journey.
The journey concludes at a Research and Education Centre - introducing new facilities that encourage research and education while maintaining and reactivating what is already there - followed by an immersive Restaurant that draws on local resources, creating a circular economy and offering a taste of Asinara’s regenerative future.
