The design goals and objectives of any “venitian” project could be
resumed in the title “dopo Novissime”: the space between San
Giobbe and San Secondo understood as a “quadratura”, framing, of
this area on the ground of the entire urban system and its possibles
scenarios, never forgetting its fundamental ambiguity, central and
peripherical at the same time, and its “normality”; to think Venezia as
a normal city and ask which characters could generate, today, a new
process of housing development, how to inhabit the secret gardens
and courtyards between water and land, invention and time.
