15.- Cinque Terre - Villages on the Edge

Along the Ligurian coast, villages compress themselves between steep terrain and open water within a landscape shaped by erosion, trade, and maritime exposure. Harbors occupy narrow inlets carved into rock, facades climb abruptly above the sea, and artificial light extends habitation into surrounding darkness. The sequence moves from intimate coastal detail toward elevated and nocturnal views, observing how settlement adapts to unstable terrain while remaining inseparable from the structure of the coastline itself.
