adaptations of the wall: considering past, present, & future developments

The wall presents itself as a boundary, suitable for larger roads (infrastructure).

It seems two walls are present, making for an ideal parking-lot area/thoroughfare.

A curious man using a parking meter.

An adaptation of the wall/boundary is presented as an integral part of a city: irrigation (infrastructure)

Adaptations of the wall/boundary are revealed and concealed: evidence of premeditated design strategies for city planning (infrastructure)

Did the wall/boundary of the city designate social classes? The farmers living towards the edges. The merchants/government officials living towards the center/downtown area. Today, the lines of class are blurred.

Territories around the wall have been transformed according to modern day necessity; a parking lot.

Evidence of future planning; considering traffic, this gate accommodates a modern two-way road

A residence has taken root in the expansive territory near the less occupied/dense area along the wall. An alternative to the typical Vicenza flat

The outer wall/most recent of archaic footprints is ideal for interstates (infrastructure)

How are modern day accommodations stitched onto the wall? Is the character/appearance/facade faked?

An opportunity?

The wall as an anchor.

Reading the lines of old and new.

Midnight Wall Walk

Late night is better than never...
Soren looks dryly away from the Porto St. Lucia. The lion crest of Venice, in a difficult state, is set into the tower wall.
It is a church? scooter/cycle parking?
Walls collide.

Wall Walk

from Ponte Furo Bridge

entering Campo Marzo

Old gate bridge towards Corso Palladio

leaving Campo Marzo, looking north onto Viale Roma

Viale Giuseppe Mazzini, along the old wall 

Co-mingling of recycled material, presumably from old wall

Remnants of wall incorporated into a new boundary structure, along Campo Marzo edge

Poured concrete of newer building almost bleeds over the ancient wall it leans against

A Walk to Remember







Wall Walk


Wandering the interior of the Vicenza wall fragments.


Intersection of old vs. new and defensive vs. practical.



Analyzing the layering of the new and old wall textures.
