On the flip side of Venice: contemporary Giudecca
Giudecca is the site and the subject of the latest touring conversation in the “Walking (the) trajectories: Venice as a model for the future?” series, led by Angela Vettese. We will be making our way across the island which, isolated from the flow of tourists and located “on the other side” Venice, has in many ways become the most contemporary district of the city. Since the 1960s it has been an architectural laboratory, focusing on imagining a possible evolution of the lagoon city, which is often rendered immobile by its conservation efforts. From Gino Valle's public housing to Cino Zucchi's project for the former Junghans factory, we will touch upon places that host the area’s residents, but also its culture: spaces that have been re-imagined, both for the future and the present, and designed to integrate with Venice’s history and everyday life.
