Over the past decades, Venice has become a place of pilgrimage to architects from around the world. During the architectural Biennale-the most significant in this area and truly grandiose event-experts and amateurs meet here, near San Marko Square, Rialto Bridge and Doge Palace. It is amazing that there was still no guide to the new architecture of the largest city-museum in the open air.
This book is the key to Venice, which it became after 1950, and invites to go beyond the limits of paths beaten by tourists. The guide includes water and pedestrian routes, thanks to which you can find out about new residential complexes, colossal transformations that occurred on the territory of the harbor, a variety of exhibition pavilions of Biennale, built over the past 60 years, and, of course, about the wonderful projects of Karlo Scarpa, Tadao Ando, David Chipperfield and other masters. This truly practical book tells of ambiguous projects, such as a flood protection system or the reconstruction of Fontako-dei-Tedeska according to the project of Rema Colhas. Additionally, the guidebook examines large -scale unrealized concepts of such famous architects as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Luis Kan
