Abstract

Le livre présente le résultat de l'étude du Laba, laboratoire de recherche de l'EPFL sur le développement urbain de cette ville. Des cartes thématiques dépliantes complètent la démonstration. Le livre propose également des propositions d'interventions architecturales par les étudiants du Laba. Suspended in the struggle between sea and soil, Venice is an ambiguous place prone to mystification. For centuries, vedutisti left a vivid visual record of the city that was by turns a reflection of real and imagined space. As a result, the tourist-oriented city has seen the birth and growth of an industry of nostalgia, in which preservation efforts to protect the city’s historic brand sometimes displace its local livelihood. In addition, Venice now battles rising water levels that are having a fundamental impact on local communities and living conditions.
