NEW I.U.A.V BUILDING (Venice Institute of Architecture ) International Design Competition 1998 – Prized project
In 1998 the IUAV (Venice Institute of Architecture) held a design competition for the extension of its headquarters on Giudecca island. The call was for the demolition of the former warehouses placed across the channel, and for the construction of a new building containing the classrooms, an auditorium, some teachers studies and a rooftop-terrace restaurant-bar. The particular Venetian characters have generated a building designed in strong relationship with the sea and the canals, also accessible by boat.
