These universities have already worked in co-educational actions/projects/works with positive results; the Lifelong Learning Programme gives us the opportunity to deepen this collaboration in order to: - increase the number of students and teachers involved in these exchange initiatives; - to compare architectural and landscaping design methods among the Universities involved ; - to develop trans-disciplinary students skills required by professions activities today; The last point is the one that most importantly builds up how the proposal in these pages would like to respond to academic priorities the Erasmus Intensive Programme has given. Nowadays, the trans-disciplinary approach is one of the most appropriate teaching methods capable of training students in architectural design. The “Fortified Places” workshop involved architectural and landscaping design, historical disciplines, photography, architectural restoration not as a summation of knowledge, but as a critical trans-disciplinary learning area. The main purpose of the Intensive Programme is to make students fully aware of the opportunity of acquiring a method that approaches the topics and the project sites with the help of communication and comparison of the disciplines. On one hand, the need is to separate disciplinary knowledge, in order to train specialists; on other hand, the need is to train designers able to manage different knowledge in complex architectural projects, is strongly increasing To this effect, the workshop aims to develop projects in continuous comparison with various knowledge and with the support of the teachers of different disciplines. Goals The IP “Fortified Places’” goal is to underline the historical role of fortifications under the construction of urban and natural landscapes; the investigation/research con- cerns single fortified elements, also part of a wider system, and the potentialities that these elements can obtain today. This first edition of the IP - we hope that there will be two others in Spain and in Fran- ce - investigate on some fortified places scattered in Venice’s lagoon, which allows the analysis of their possible role within a programme that preserves and enhances the lagoon’s landscape. The progressive decommission of military functions, raises cultural, social and eco- nomic questions about the recovery of these buildings and sites; these places could become models that enhance the lagoon, by supporting sustainable tourism and cultural uses/traditions in agreement with the lagoon’s environmental history. The suggested topic is to create an analytical and planning study on a place (in this case the Venetian Lagoon) and on a specific system (cultural or touristic reuse of the decommission military installations). The main question is to obtain a method and an approach capable of solving plan- ning problems; a valid method applicable to other European backgrounds connoted by the presence of historical/environmental qualities to preserve and enhance. 4 Main activities The programme is possible thanks to the collaboration of the professors of the Università IUAV, ENSAPM and ETSAS, and to the goals the students of these three universities have in common. The IP is organized to increase students’ knowledge with ex cathedra classes and with a workshop approach that develops design projects. The main activities will be: - Multidisciplinary lessons and preliminary research are geared to strengthen the necessary notions and to deal with the project sites and IP issues. The main topics the classes with talk about: fortified systems in the Italian, French and Spanish landscapes; historical figures and element of the lagoon’s landscape; projects that cope with the cultural facilities of those sites characterized by historical backgrounds and by the delicacy of its environment; pictures of the lagoon; strate- gies of preservation and enhancement adopted in Italy, France and Spain;

ZANCHIN 1 Abstract: Until its end the Serenissima constantly supported the contagionist hypothesis, playing for all the span of its history the role of pioneer and model for the measures adopted to prevent the diffusion of epidemics. The sanitary preoccupations of the Republic were particularly directed upon people and goods arriving from the territories of the Ottoman Empire from where periodic bouts of plague originated. The examination of the written and iconographic primary sources here considered puts in evidence relevant aspects of the Venetian fight against the plague Key words: Republic of Venice, plague, epidemics, lazaret, quarantine, osella.

  • Santa Fosca in Torcello and the Middle Byzantine Churches in Eastern Greece: Preliminary Comparison and Remarks on Common Features and Differences
    Athens Journal of History January 2016 Santa Fosca in Torcello and the Middle Byzantine Churches in Eastern Greece: Preliminary Comparison and Remarks on Common Features and Differences By Antonella Manzo The main aim of this work is to critically examine Santa Fosca building period through the analysis of the similarities as well as the differences with some churches located in Greece and belonging to the so-called octagonal domed type. In fact, since the second half of the Nineteenth century a historiographical tradition has compared Santa Fosca with these Greek Middle-Byzantine churches, where eight supports, piers or columns, arranged in a regular or irregular octagon, receive the loads from the cupola. The comparison is based on the direct analysis of these buildings: the structural configuration, the constructive materials and techniques as well as the affinities in decoration, occurring both inside and outside, are under investigation. This contribution offers a new perspective, from which it could be possible to study the period of erection of the Venetian church, a topic that is still object of debate among the scientific community. Introduction Torcello is an island belonging to the Northern Venetian Laguna, which lives its golden age during the X-XI century AD: in his Administrando Imperio of 927 Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus defines Torcello as emporion mega, to testify the great importance of its intense trades with the Orient. The church of Santa Fosca is located on the island at the Southern side of the ancient Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, whose origins date back to the inscription of 639 AD, discovered during the excavations of 1895.

  • The Mose Machine
    THE MOSE MACHINE An anthropological approach to the building oF a Flood safeguard project in the Venetian Lagoon [Received February 1st 2021; accepted February 16th 2021 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.104] Rita Vianello Ca Foscari University, Venice <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: This article reconstructs and analyses the reactions and perceptions of fishers and inhabitants of the Venetian Lagoon regarding flood events, ecosystem fragility and the saFeguard project named MOSE, which seems to be perceived by residents as a greater risk than floods. Throughout the complex development of the MOSE project, which has involved protracted legislative and technical phases, public opinion has been largely ignored, local knowledge neglected in Favour oF technical agendas and environmental impact has been largely overlooked. Fishers have begun to describe the Lagoon as a ‘sick’ and rapidly changing organism. These reports will be the starting point For investigating the fishers’ interpretations oF the environmental changes they observe during their daily Fishing trips. The cause of these changes is mostly attributed to the MOSE’S invasive anthropogenic intervention. The lack of ethical, aFFective and environmental considerations in the long history of the project has also led to opposition that has involved a conFlict between local and technical knowledge. KEYWORDS: Venetian Lagoon, acqua alta, MOSE dams, traditional ecological knowledge, small-scale Fishing. Introduction Sotto acqua stanno bene solo i pesci [Only the fish are fine under the sea]1 This essay focuses on the reactions and perceptions of fishers facing flood events, ecosystem changes and the saFeguarding MOSE (Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico – ‘Experimental Electromechanical Module’) project in the Venetian Lagoon.

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.

    Defence of Venice littoral islands - IT Defence of Venice littoral islands - IT 1. Policy Objective & Theme ADAPTATION TO RISK: Managing impacts of climate change and safeguarding resilience of coasts/coastal systems SUSTAINABLE USE OF RESOURCES: Preserving coastal environment (its functioning and integrity) to share space 2. Key Approaches Knowledge-based Technical 3. Experiences that can be exchanged The measures adopted are the most important protected beach nourishment projects ever implemented in Italy on an eroding coastline with sea wall, according to the most advanced techniques of modern coastal engineering, attributing great importance to the protected nourished beaches for their capacity to dissipate wave energy in a resilient way. 4. Overview of the case The coastal barrier between the Adriatic Sea and the lagoon is constituted by the littorals of Jesolo, Cavallino, Lido, Pellestrina, Sottomarina and Isola Verde. The lagoon communicates with the sea through the three inlets of Lido, Malamocco and Chioggia. Over time, the coastal strip has lost its defensive function. The built-up areas closest to the sea are ever more often at risk.These problems have been faced through a complex programme of interventions, including the reinforcement of the coastline. The measures adopted have been developed from international experienced reshaped for the particular coastline. 5. Context and Objectives a) Context Venice is located in a lagoon protected from the Adriatic Sea by a coastal barrier that stretches for a total of about 60 km. The coastline is made up of strips of land: the coastal strips of Jesolo and Cavallino, the two inlands of Lido and Pellestrina and the sand beaches of Sottomarina and Isola Verde.

La pianta di Venezia disegnata da Paolino da Venezia (1270-1344), e inserita nel suo “Compendium” detto anche “Chronologia magna” (1346), restituisce la forma della città secondo un aspetto cronologico: come doveva presentarsi Venezia nel IX secolo (ma con alcuni particolari riferiti addirittura all'VIII secolo) e come doveva essere nel XII secolo, con aggiunte relative alla sua configurazione coeva all'autore. Dopo la morte di Fra' Paolino la pianta pergamenacea rimase nascosta a tutti per quattrocento anni. Solo nel 1730 Tomaso Temanza scoprì la pergamena e nel 1781 realizzò una incisone su rame nella quale riportò con una calligrafia più chiara il disegno e le scritte, incisione che diede alle stampe.
