Transnational Forums

The objective of the “I Transnational Forum” is to facilitate a more profound comprehension of the architectures of the sea by the partners of the SEALabHaus project and the local participants, with a particular focus on the context of Galicia and, more broadly, the Atlantic coast of peninsular Spain. In view of the limited timeframe of two days, it seems reasonable to conclude that the initial objective is overly ambitious. It may have been more prudent to focus on a smaller territorial area, thereby freeing up time that could have been used to carry out more complex and enriching participatory activities. It would be advantageous to employ participatory dynamics that capitalise on the presence of local participants with expertise in architecture and those with knowledge of the sea from diverse sectors, as well as individuals from the various Atlantic regions involved in the SEALabHaus project. Nevertheless, it is also beneficial to provide an overview of the architectures of the sea in other regions to identify similarities and differences, and to facilitate reflection on these aspects. 

It can therefore be concluded that the assessment of the development of the Forum is positive, as is the assessment made of it by the attendees. Furthermore, lessons have been learned to improve on future occasions.
