🎤 "You don't fight nature, you care of it, otherwise it will win" This how Oscar Siches - Marina Expert & Designer - kick off the discussion on "Importance of Architecture in Marina Development" with leading experts Effie Nakajima – Senior Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects (UK), Nicolas JARRY – Head of Maritime Projects at Tractebel Engineering (France), Janna Bystrykh – Head of the Master in Architecture program at the Academy of Architecture (Netherlands), and Henry Glogau – Architect & Innovator (New Zealand). Moderator and panelists highlighted the need to apply regenerative architecture principles in marina design, while agreeing that collaboration between engineers, architects and clients is essential to tackling contemporary environmental challenges. 🌍 Biodiversity: A Vital Priority Marina planning must take biodiversity issues into account, over and above climate objectives. Each project must adopt a holistic vision that includes human, economy, legal perspectives, as well as other species present in these environments: "Many countries are moving towards climate goals, but we must also move towards biodiversity objectives." 🤝 Collaboration and Global Vision « Designing a marina requires different skills, it's like playing in an orchestra ». The architect plays a pivotal role in reconciling the client's vision, the location and its constraints, consolidating the points of view of each stakeholder in order to find a common goal for all and create harmonious projects 🌊 Designing with Context Good design must be rooted in a deep understanding of the local context, respecting environmental, cultural, and regulatory specificities. 🌱 Resilient Marinas: Tackling Environmental Challenges The primary challenges are reducing CO2 emissions generated by marinas construction, understanding the impact of the materials used on the marine environment, adapting existing infrastructures to the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, and applying regenerative architecture principles to protect and restore biodiversity. ⚓ Living spaces for Connection and Community Marinas are no longer just nautical business as 20 years ago. They are transforming into hospitality and leisure centers accessible to everyone, whether or not one owns a boat. Marinas are part of smart cities, creating their own ecosystem, benefiting the community by creating jobs, reinforcing the social dimension by fostering interaction and conviviality, and contributing to a city/country's influence.

🏦 How Banking Facilitates Marina Sustainability During the 4th Edition of the Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous, 3 international speakers joined the conference moderated by Pascal Ferry, Deputy Director of Monaco Statistics. Liza Singer Lawyer and Founder of Karpaz Gate Marina (North Cyprus), Klaus "Cacau" Peters CEO of InterMarinas (Brazil), Ra'anan Ben-Zur Founder & CEO of Habacoa Marina (USA) and delved into the critical themes of marina financing and sustainability. 🌱 Sustainability as a cornerstone for investment: Sustainability is now a non-negotiable element for investors. Projects that incorporate sustainable practices from the outset, particularly those that require certification, are much more likely to secure funding. Not only do certifications demonstrate a commitment to sustainability, but the higher the marina's certification, the more tangible benefits it can achieve, such as tax returns from the authorities, a positive impact on the boat-user community, and so on. 💼 Fundraising challenges: While location and sustainability are key fundamentals for any investor, the size of the investment and security of investment are elements in attracting investors and raising funds for any project. Marinas can attract many investor profiles, not one specific type, but they all know that marinas are long-term investments. Demonstrating sustainable value is essential to securing finance. 🏗 Marina real-estate synergy: Combining marinas with real estate drives profitability. This synergy is further enhanced when hotels, F&B concepts, properties are integrated into marina developments. The hotels and retails benefit from the prestige and activity associated with the proximity of the marinas, and the marinas enhance the appeal of the properties. While yacht owners typically stay on their boats, they are attracted by marinas that offer a dynamic and lively environment. The strength of marinas lies in the fact that they are the link between the property and the sea. It's not just a beautiful view of the sea, but access to the sea. 👥 Community engagement: Marina projects that invest in local communities by employing and training local staff receive incentives from governments. Marinas play a leading role in a town’s economy, generating activities beyond site management, and are life center with numerous socio-economic impact and financial repercussions for the locals. By choosing to prioritize local engagement, marinas align with broader economic and community development goals. 📊 Data & transparency: The lack of shared data across the sector, covering metrics like energy and water consumption/use, boat occupancy...limits the effectiveness of planning and investment and, consequently, progress towards sustainable development. Closing this gap could open up new opportunities, provide more accurate feasibility studies and make marinas more attractive to investors by offering a detailed view of their operations and impact.

🏆 Spotlight on the Winner of the Public's Coup de Coeur - Architecture Award 2024. During the 4th Edition of the Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous, Bozhidar Hinkov and Jacquelline Dimitrova brilliantly won the 2024 Architecture Award bestowed by the public following a vote. The floating marina presented by Arrogant Architects features a modular and scalable design using recycled marine-grade aluminum and fibers to ensure durability and minimize environmental impact. The structure is anchored with advanced systems that protect sensitive ecosystems, particularly the Posidonia seagrass meadows, by avoiding seabed damage. The design also incorporates a central “social hub,” a floating communal space that promotes interaction and offers panoramic views. 📣 Are you an architect looking to showcase your talent in a competition that combines design, innovation and environmental challenges?

🌐 How Can Technology Optimize Unique Marina Experiences? This question was addressed at the 4th Edition of the Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous last September, where key industry players shared insights on how technology is shaping the future of marinas, making them smarter, more efficient and safer for everyone. From smart applications to sustainability and data-driven decision-making, the conference, moderated by Gino Battaglia President of the Italian Yacht Masters Association and event partner, underlined a shared mission: creating innovative marinas that blend innovation, efficiency, and environmental stewardship. The yachting community is evolving, and technology is at the helm. 🚤 Smart docking & crew apps: Yacht Captain Kelly Gordon (USA) emphasized the importance of a unified platform to simplify marina operations. The goal: to reduce the number of WhatsApp groups and information from different sources, but instead gather all the info together in one smart app that combine useful elements. 🌱 Sustainability at the core: Mar Vera Vives presented the sustainable practices implemented at the Alcudiamar Port & Botel (Spain), she highlighted the use of advanced systems to monitor water quality, optimise water and energy consumption, helping to reduce environmental impact while ensuring transparency and reliability of operations. 📊 Data as the foundation: Randy Durband (South Korea), CEO of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), highlighted the critical need for robust systems to collect data to support innovation: “The greatest need, before any fancy app, it’s better underlined data system”. ⚡ Merging tradition and innovation for optimal service: Stavros Katsikadis (Greece), President of the Greek Marinas Association said: “We respect and understand the Owner or Captain need to monitor the yacht's energy consumption on a daily, hour-by-hour basis. At Flisvos Marina, we combine traditional methods of measuring consumption with digital ways to provide an optimum service. I like to use the Greek word “Aionios” which means eternal in Greek. Everything we do, from design, building to operation, we try to do it forever. That should be a law for all marinas”. 📣 How do you think technology is optimizing unique marina experiences?
