CHAPTER Is illustrative that tries to understand the natural with the existing. He understands nature as a series of interrelated elements that express the existence of a being, that is why the landscape has a structure and meaning, which is why it is important to understand the concept of nature.

Architecture is an element that helps us understand nature, create a significant place, highlight its potential and this will depend on the meaning that man gives to his creation.

SUMMARY Understand how to live in a place not only from the scientific and qualitative but also from the soul, for that it is necessary to return to the basics and understand how phenomenology is the beginning to analyze the structure of the text through examples of cities such as Prague, or Rome.

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.
