Description
This comprehensive guide explores the modern architecture of Venice, revealing the city's most innovative and often provocative buildings since 1950. From residential complexes to converted harbour sheds, and from famous architects like Tadao Ando and David Chipperfield to lesser-known designs, this book takes readers on a journey off the beaten tourist path.
Featuring a range of projects, including the Biennale pavilions from the last six decades, as well as new developments such as flood control barriers and spectacular conversions like the Fondaco dei Tedeschi by Rem Koolhaas, this guide provides a unique insight into Venice's architectural landscape.
With its practical approach and in-depth examination of contemporary architecture, this Architectural Guide is an essential resource for anyone interested in exploring the city's modern buildings and projects.
