The sites are situated on either side of the Piazzale Roma; gateway to Venice when approaching by road and linked by a prominent new footbridge over the Grand Canal to the railway station. The sites’ locations on the overlapping zone between mainland and island, with the instantly recognisable Venice of the Grand Canal to one side and bus station and multi-storey carparks to the other, means that they tolerate a range of approaches to the problem of how to provide for a Venetian population that is slowly being displaced from the city.
Surveys of the proposal sites established personal interests and lines of investigation with fields of study extending outwards into the city.
