Venice, one of the world's 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 today's real city
with its infrastructural challenges and can hardly be reconciled
with a concrete future. Venice Lessons: examines this conflict.
Based on a recent research program at EPFL's Laboratory Basel
(laba), it demonstrates how the city must constantly redesign its
historic image to retain its position as one of Europe's prime
tourist attractions while the necessary permanent renovation
undermines its livelihood. The findings are visualised in striking
images, graphics and maps. The book also features proposals for
architectural interventions by laba's students. Interlaced is a
reprint of Miroslav Sasek's famous picture book This is Venice
which reflects the common Venice nostalgia while the Venice Lessons
research context enables a fresh reading of this children's
classic.
