Lifting Wave, Resting Wave, Lighting Wave, Dover, UK designed by Tonkin Liu
Lifting Wave, Resting Wave, Lighting Wave harnesses the architectural language of Doverʼs identity, evoking the gentle nature of waves on the sheltered beach, the rhythmical sweep of the Georgian seafront terrace and the topography of the White Cliffs. -- Architecture Today

Benidorm Seafront, Benidorm, Spain designed by OAB
The artifical landscape elegantly resolves the problem of the required width of a seaside promenade by having the form expand to larger areas with benches and places to relax. The design also includes a variety of access points to the sand. In this way, the design serves different levels, as the upper level is fit for any city-goer to meander along the path, and the bottom curves pour into a wooded board walk for runners and beach-goers. On the upper level, the colored promenade has a passive relationship with the Mediterranean, and the curves of the form provide a shaded perimeter for the lower path. The design truly fits the location as the seaside is filled with people enjoying their holiday. Its upbeat color selection and dynamic form have made it a success for those from or visiting Benidorm. -- ArchDaily

Promenade Samuel-de Champlain, Quebec, Canada, 2008 designed by Daoust Lestage, Williams Asselin Ackaoui, and Option Aménagement
.... what had once been a largely industrial landscape dotted with petroleum storage tanks is now a leafy linear park filled with pedestrians, runners, and cyclists. This 1.5-mile-long, $63 million (U.S.) section of the Promenade Samuel-de Champlain is part of a vision for a continuous emerald swath that will eventually extend another 6 miles to an area of shoreline near the fortified walls of the Old City.
.... By introducing gradual curves and pulling the four-lane artery away from the shore at a few key spots, the team was able to recover significant stretches of the waterfront for public use -- Architectural Record
