Boats and People of Venice: Site Conditions

This site is subject to high tides which gives way for opportunity of programmable space past the indicated blue zone.

L'Aqua di Venezia : trying to predict the future of this canal. The widening of the waterway is a possible consideration to accommodate boat traffic.

The speed limit in the canal is currently 5km/h but once a boat is past this canal it can increase to 11km/h 







Possibility for program at three levels in section. Below, within, and above.

Extending the landing avoids aqua alta and provides possibility of more public space.


I cant tell if this map is being uploaded. it is a site plan showing a 60' wide existing canal which fits about 3 medium-sized boats.
