  • 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 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.

  • Museo Correr
    Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia — The neo-classical rooms and the Canova collection Museo Correr ENG The neo-classical rooms and the Canova collection The Correr Museum is laid out in various sections that offer a fascinating insight into the art and history of Venice. The first section occupies the Napoleonic Wing, a 19th century kings and emperors’ palace; here the sumptuous Neoclassical Rooms house a noteworthy collection of works by the great Antonio Canova Museo Correr sculptor (1757-1822). Venice, St. Mark’s Square LAYOUT AND COLLECTIONS BALLROOM This sumptuous and opulent ballroom is unique in the palace for the thoroughness and refinement of its Empire-style decor. Lorenzo Santi began work on the design in 1822, and Giuseppe Borsato completed the decoration in 1837/38. At either end, the room is bound by loggias intended to house the orchestra; above the gilded Corinthian capitals of these fluted columns in polished stucco are two small apses that make the upper area of the ballroom into an oval. The centre of the ceiling is frescoed with Peace surrounded by the Virtues and the Geni of Olympus. Painted by Odorico Politi, the work is a clear reference to the restoration of the Hapsburgs after the period of Napoleon. The door on the right at the end of the room leads to the beginning of the new itinerary of the Imperial rooms. — ROOM I - CANOVA COLLECTION Sala del Trono Lombardo–Veneto Canova, from the drawing to the model: Ballroom from an idea to the form in space Museo Correr The museum houses a large nucleus of autograph drawings from the collections of illustrious figures that knew Canova (Leopoldo Cicognara, Bartolomeo Gamba, Francesco Aglietti etc.).

  • A Day in Venice"
    "A Day in Venice" Criado por : Cityseeker 12 Localizações indicadas Praça de São Marcos "World-Famous Piazza" The only Venetian square to be granted the title of 'piazza', St. Mark's Square, or Piazza San Marco, is the city's political, religious and social center. The square lies at one end of the Grand Canal, surrounded by some of the city's most iconic historic edifices. The Basilica di San Marco is the focal point of the square - a 12th-century, Venetian-Byzantine by Zairon church highlighted with gold mosaics and lavish carvings. On either side lie the Procuratie Vecchie, stately buildings that once harbored the offices and apartments of the procurators. Two columns erected in honor of the city's patron saints, St. Mark and St. Theodore of Amasea, stand nearby, while the splendid Doge's Palace, the towering Campanile, the Procuratie Nuove, the National Library, and a couple of museums take up the rest of the space around Venice's largest square. The city's history comes together at the awe-inspiring St. Mark's Square. +39 041 724 1040 Piazza San Marco, Veneza St Mark's Campanile "Panoramic View of the City" You get a splendid view of Venice and the Basilica di San Marco from the tallest bell tower in Venice.
