A walk through public housing neighbourhoods in Venice old town
9:30 - 12:30
Explore Venice through a unique architectural and urban planning tour through some neighbourhoods where, in the past, successful experiences of public housing projects have been developed. Embark on a journey through contexts designed by famous architects and urban planners, who seamlessly integrated modern structures and elements with this city's unique historical urban fabric and cultural heritage.
Explore the hierarchies of alleys, porches, private and common spaces created by the architects in the Giudecca island, and understand their great design sensitivity in paying homage, while offering a modern (re)interpretation, to the urban character of Venice. This tour not only reveals Venice's hidden treasures, but also highlights the vital role of public housing projects in shaping the history, culture, and vitality of these neighbourhoods.
