Scenes: the Campi of Venice,
By Michael Webb (London, England > Los Angeles, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Auftritte Scenes: Interaction with Architectural Space, the Campi of Venice (Hardcover)
A joyful interpretation of a city that evolved organically in response to its topography and the everyday needs of its population. The piazza of St Mark's was elaborated over the centuries as a stage for ceremony; the campi were unplanned neighborhood squares, and they still serve that role even though Venice has lost half its population over the past few decades.This exemplary study, illustrated with plans, models and bw photos, illuminates the spatial relationships and the patterns of use of these urban oases. Architects and designers should ponder the lessons they offer: that public spaces work best when they are simple and deeply rooted in the community. |
