CONTEXT
FUNCTION
The main idea is to create a union between the architecture and the Venetian context to find their own space. 1- It is placed in the theater in the center of the water 2- Create a set.
Built for the Venice Biennale, located opposite the famous Venetian Dogana. The Biennale of Theater and Architecture sought to recall the old floating theaters of the 18th century that operated on water. Rossi perceives the floating theater as a new symbol of the city of Venice, a new monument that understands its hermeneutical, social and practical functions, as well as its importance in the collective memory and customs of a city through time.
