Beschreibung
Venice, one of the worlds most famous places, has a dual nature of real city and myth. It is suspended in the struggle between sea and soil and unable to survive without cyclical preservation and continual compromise. The myth, which is largely shaped by nostalgia and ideals of the past, superimposes todays real city with its infrastructural challenges and can hardly be reconciled with a concrete future. Venetian Lessons: Industrial Nostalgi a examines this conflict. Based on a recent research program at EPFLs Laboratory Basel (laba), it demonstrates how the city must constantly redesign its historic image to retain its position as one of Europes prime tourist attractions while the necessary permanent renovation undermines its livelihood. The findings are visualized in striking images, graphics and maps. The book also features proposals for architectural interventions by labas students. Interlaced is a reprint of Miroslav Saseks famous picture book This is Venice which reflects the common Venice nostalgia while the Venice Lessons research context enables a fresh reading of this childrens classic.
