The Arsenal of Venice

The Arsenal of Venice has been, during centuries, the centre of innovation and production of the venetian naval technology. The structure and the architecture of its complex has made evolved throught the evolution of naval and architectural techniques.

​

During the XIXth century, it suffers a fatal crisis and loses most of its industrial function. Currently, the Arsenal is showing its resilience, out of the frame of industrial production.

​

This work performs an interpretation of the Arsenal's structures of different times in their complex contexts. Between history, politic, industry, lagoon and patrimony, it is a kaleidoscope of architectural and technical answers.
