Museums of Contemporary Art in Preexisting Buildings: Constraints and Architecture the Case Study of Punta Della Dogana and Fondazione Prada
MUSEUMS OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN PREEXISTING BUILDINGS: CONSTRAINTS AND ARCHITECTURE THE CASE STUDY OF PUNTA DELLA DOGANA AND FONDAZIONE PRADA Thesis Supervisors: Professor Bárbara Coutinho Professor Fulvio Lenzo Author: Beatriz Loreto Crespo de Jesus Agostinho Extended Abstract The present article regards the process of converting preexisting buildings into museums of contemporary art using two study cases: Punta della Dogana, in Venice, and Fondazione Prada, in Milan. Additionally, this investigation aims to identify the factors and the limitations that affect the development of the adjacent architectural project and to understand the architectural solutions created in each case. With these goals in mind it was necessary to contextualise, historically, the museological institution as well as the evolution of its morphology. At the same time, a detailed analysis of the two case studies took place starting by the systematisation of technical drawings, bibliographic research and numerous visits to the respective locations. The dissertation document is made up by five chapters from which the first consists of the introductory guide lines for the investigation and the last two being the reached conclusions followed by the used bibliography. On the second chapter, a brief study regarding the History and the Architecture of museums of art takes place, focusing on the period inbetween the 18th century and the 20th century. The museum, being an entity with multiple dimensions - mission, programmes, morphology, among others – needs to adapt to its surrounding circumstances in order to survive (Schubert, 2009: 11). Since the 18th century this institution has changed accordingly to the social shifts affecting society, therefore, influencing all of its dimensions and its relation with the public.

Architecture and the City in Humanist Urban Culture – the Case of Venice
Proceedings of the 11th Space Syntax Symposium #104 CITY-CRAFT AND STATECRAFT: Architecture and the City in Humanist Urban Culture – the case of Venice SOPHIA PSARRA UCL, London, United Kingdom [email protected] ABSTRACT Architecture is defined by intentional design, while cities are the product of multiple human actions over a long period of time. This seems to confine us between a view of architecture as authored object and a view of the city as authorless socio-economic process. This debate goes back to the separation of architecture from its skill base in building craft that took place in the Renaissance, including its division from the processes by which cities are produced by clients, users, regulatory codes, markets and infrastructures. As a result, architecture is confined in exceptional cases to the status of iconic buildings, or more generally to the status of buildings as economic production. Currently, buildings and cities are appropriated by digital technology and ubiquitous computing as a way of managing the city’s assets. Digital technologies integrate designing with making, informational models of buildings with geographic information systems and digital mapping. What had to be separated from city-making practices in order to raise architecture to a different status is increasingly re-integrated through digital infrastructure. As for architecture, traditionally engaged with the design of objects rather than networks or systems, is deprived of relevance in shaping social capital, politically and intellectually sidelined. Focusing on the Piazza San Marco in relationship to the urban fabric of Venice this paper traces the interlocking spheres of self-conscious architecture, the institutional and intellectual resources mobilised by Venetian statecraft and the networked spaces of everyday action.

Saint Mark's Square As Contested Political Space
SAINT MARK’S SQUARE AS CONTESTED POLITICAL SPACE: PROTESTING CRUISE TOURISM IN VENICE [ReceiveD 21st October 2020; accepteD February 21st 2021 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.119] AlexanDer Araya López Ca’ Foscari University, Venice < [email protected]> ABSTRACT: Saint Mark’s Square is unquestionably the most famous tourist attraction in Venice, a piazza characterised by its complex history, unique aesthetics anD many allusions to power (given its proximity to the Doge’s Palace anD Saint Mark’s Basilica). This square is the largest open space in the city anD while it is routinely crowDeD with tourists from all over the worlD, political Demonstrations have been prohibiteD since 1997. This article explores Saint Mark’s Square as a contested political space by focusing on the many local struggles against cruise tourism in Venice anD its lagoon. InsteaD of constituting an ‘apolitical’ space, the preferreD uses given to the square by local authorities and tourism stakeholders are manifestly ‘political’, producing a space of leisure and consumption that benefits the economic logic behinD the ‘normal’ functioning of the piazza. Other alternative social anD political uses of the square are not only DiscourageD but banned, which brings into Discussion the Lefebvrian notion of the right to the city: who has access to the centre as a (political) privilegeD space? The article examines protest acts undertaken by the collective No Grandi Navi, particularly the political events that took place after the MSC Opera collision with another tourist vessel anD the Dock in June 2019. KEYWORDS: public sphere, protest, cruise tourism, policing, urban spaces. IntroDuction: Global mass tourism anD Venice as a ‘tourist’ city In June 2020, while the coronavirus panDemic forceD many cities anD tourist Destinations to impose harsh lockDowns, Dozens of cruise ships were stranDeD at Manila Bay in the Philippines (Fonbuena anD McCormick, 2020).

During our virtual walk, we will see the Church of Salute, and the Gesuati dome, dedicated to St Mary of the Rosary, and view the Palladian church of Redentore across the canal on the island of Giudecca. We will pass by the oldest gondolayard still active after 400 years as well as the typical “bacaros” of Venice with their well-known “cicchetti” to end on top of the Accademia bridge for a final view of the Grand Canal. A virtual walking tour of the district of Venice called Cannaregio Starting at the Church of the Jesuits, we will move to the Fondamenta della Misericordia, pass by the old Brotherhood of Santa Maria Valverde and reach the Madonna dell’Orto church. We will then see the House of Tintoretto, the campo dei Mori and finally end by the Jewish ghetto. Cannaregio, lying north of Venice is a very popular area, unknown to most tourists and providing you with an interesting urban concept regarding Venice, rich in gardens and open spaces. A virtual walking tour of the district of Venice called Castello We will start from the Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo with its Dominican Pantheon and the Scuola Grande San Marco, featuring the monument to Bartolomeo Colleoni and move towards the Arsenale where we end our tour, passing by the Church of San Francesco della Vigna.

Saint Mark soon displaced all other saints as Venice’s symbol of independence and unity.

EXCERPT: RENAISSANCE ARCH RESEARCH PAPER 2 The Renaissance period in Venice, lasting through the Quattrocento and Cinquecento, was significant because of the city’s maintenance of civic peace; this was achieved in large part by the rise in number and importance of processional routes by the Doges, the elected leaders of the Republic.3 Venice proved their commitment to these processions by creating a grander urban fabric.

Introducing Venice
INTRODUCING VENICE A fleet of gondoliers, among others, navigates the riches of the Grand Canal (p125) From the look of it, you'd think Venice spent all its time primping. Bask in the glory of Grand Canal pal- aces, but make no mistake: this city's a powerhouse. You may have heard that Venice is an engineering marvel, with marble cathedrals built atop ancient posts driven deep into the barene (mud banks) – but the truth is that this city is built on sheer nerve. Reasonable people might blanch at water approaching their doorsteps and flee at the first sign of acqua alta (high tide). But reason can’t compare to Venetian resolve. Instead of bailing out, Venetians have flooded the world with voluptuous Venetian-red paintings and wines, music, Marco Polo spice-route flavours, and bohemian-chic fashion. And they’re not done yet. VENICE LIFE With the world’s most artistic masterpieces per square kilometre, you’d think the city would take it easy, maybe rest on its laurels. But Venice refuses to retire from the inspiration business. In narrow calli (alleyways), you’ll glimpse artisans hammering out shoes crested like lagoon birds, cooks whipping up four-star dishes on single-burner hotplates, and musicians lugging 18th-century cellos to riveting baroque concerts played with punk-rock bravado. As you can see, all those 19th-century Romantics got it wrong. Venice is not destined for genteel decay. Billion- aire benefactors and cutting-edge biennales are filling up those ancient palazzi (palaces) with restored masterpieces and eyebrow-raising contemporary art and architecture, and back-alley galleries and artisan showrooms are springing up in their shadows.
