Description

The project’s challenge was to create a typical symbol, like a bridge, of a city that has great historic value like Venice – which involves a new kind of use - in this case, a museum.
The idea of locating a complementary program in the bridge gives the city the possibility of using it in a more dynamic way. One which makes travel from one side to the other not just an interesting spatial experience, but also one that has a cultural and living function that invites people to stop, be and stay inside a contemporary architectural structure which reflects upon the history – past and future – of the city of Venice.
The project contains 2 spines: the lower spine of the bridge and the upper spine of the museum with two different entrances and two different circulations.
