Learning from Venice – anticipating a constantly chancing landscape

Making the future flooding of inner-city rivers visible in the present, to architecturally and culturally revisit public space and the value and meaning of urban elements by which it is formed. We encouraged students to work on-site in the scale 1:1 and to work collectively, and to present their work all together in a final exhibition.

Noordereiland already on occasion has to deal with inundation, which makes it easier to imagine it on an even more extreme scale. Venice is a city where the seasonal fluctuations of water have become part of everyday life and where a wide range of solutions have been developed in anticipatory ways that lead, sometimes unintentionally, to new uses of space and encounters.
