Venice has refused skateboard culture. She has forbidden skateboards, scooters, and bicycles in the city center, effectively banishing the culture and altering the status of skateboarding through legislation. In response, we adopt the free spirit of activist stand of creative protest that questions both church and civic policymaking. This tactical architectural process will manifest in 3 phases over time. Skaters by their very nature are urban guerrillas: exploiting physical infrastructure while at the same time remaining mobile to avoid government and corporate regulatory structures. Similarly, the habits worn by the nuns of San Zaccaria during the Renaissance provided a slippery shield. The nuns took advantage of their isolation from the Patriarchy of the Venetian Church to become an autonomous body working within, and ultimately challenging the convention of a woman’s worth. Their rebellion was a complex form of status advancement for both themselves and the church. Not only did they work to fill San Zaccaria with well sought after religious relics, they also fortified their own self-interest and desires, resulting in a big fuck you to the church/ patriarchy. We find it interesting that historic forms of rebellion operating within the church can both stabilize and threaten the institution simultaneously. The creation and exportation of a culturally shunned object such as a skateboard will come out of the nuns inner drive for economic prosperity and law-abiding status, but it will also maintain the political liveliness and edge that has marked their sisterhood historically. Because of liberalization inside and out of the nunnery in recent history, we see an opportunity for both building and program to not merely work against the government regulation but rather opportunistically exploit them. In other words, our proposal questions if it is possible to create economic vitality for both church and city through the exportation of an outlawed, handcrafted, customized, high-end skateboard whose origin is the local church but whose experimental freedom spans the globe.
