THE WAVE

Venice, Italy

Project Competition

June, 2019

A space for activities related to art and culture on the canals of Venice

When the sun appears on the horizon and the sea is calm, its tiny reflections give the sensation that time and life stand still, waiting for someone to wake them up. However, Venice is the opposite, it is that lively, colourful city, which, like time, wears away.

Like that wave that never remains constant, on which the elements act and whose movement invades the tranquillity of the city. Reducing the lived moments to small waves in time. The formal composition arises after an analysis of the Venetian palaces.

Apart from the concept of movement, we rely on a faithful reinterpretation of the common aspects:
- Rhythmic and luminous facades
- Structure perpendicular to the facade
- Structure in ornamentation
- Pale pink tones
- Open/closed proportion
- Facade alignment
- Viewpoints over the portico
