water and asphalt: five paradoxes
the european greatest phreatic nap (water table); a deficit for the consumers (50%)
the paradox of water

the paradox of agriculture
50% of the industrial area of the Treviso province lack of sewage system (QUAP, 2005) mixitĂŠ faces infrastructural incoherence and growing intolerance

mixitĂŠ faces infrastructural incoherence and growing intolerance
the crisis of the traditional urban space, while important resources are invested in its re-qualification
the paradox of public space
a diffused congestion and new projects of hierarchization
the paradox of isotropy
1 water Water deficit and polluted water table what...if... flooding water was stocked, purified and infiltrated? 2 agriculture 2013_renegotiation of EU funds for agriculture what...if... agriculture becomes a multifunctional landscape? 3 mixitĂŠ mixitĂŠ faces infrastructural incoherence and growing intolerance what...if... new models of integration are adopted at a larger territorial scale? 4 public space important resources are invested in the re-qualification of traditional public space what...if... public spaces were conceived as a network in the extended territory? 5 isotropy new projects of hierarchization are ongoing what...if... the concept of the metropolitan region of Venice as a sponge to percolate were valorized and a contemporary project of isotropy implemented?
