  • 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.

The infrared thermography applied to cultural and monumental goods diagnostic is one of more consolidated non-invasive techniques used actually. Its popularity is mainly due to its capacity to indentify non visible faults, humidity and others normal occurrences in works of art. In this work the experimental results obtained through the infrared thermography implementation on samples of the Basilica della Salute (Venice – Italy) floor are presented. The experimental procedures have been carried out using active thermography where the artificial heating has been obtained through the use of tungsten lamps. The thermal analysis allowed to identify restoration operations due to materials used which have different origin of the base material and, consequently, different thermal diffusivity and emissivity. The influence of the superficial color over the results is also discussed.

  • Canal Grande (The Grand Canal)
    Canal Grande (The Grand Canal) Night shot of the Canal Grande or Grand Canal of Venice, Italy The Canal Grande and the Canale della Giudecca are the two most important waterways in Venice. They undoubtedly fall into the category of one of the premier tourist attractions in Venice. The Canal Grande separates Venice into two distinct parts, which were once popularly referred to as 'de citra' and 'de ultra' from the point of view of Saint Mark's Basilica, and these two parts of Venice are linked by the Rialto bridge. The Rialto Bridge is the most ancient bridge in Venice.; it is completely made of stone and its construction dates back to the 16th century. The Canal Grande or the Grand Canal forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the beautiful city of Venice. The most popular mode of public transportation is traveling by the water bus and by private water taxis. This canal crisscrosses the entire city of Venice, and it begins its journey from the lagoon near the train station and resembles a large S-shape through the central districts of the "sestiere" in Venice, and then comes to an end at the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute near the Piazza San Marco. The major portion of the traffic of the city of Venice goes along the Canal Grande, and thus to avoid congestion of traffic there are already three bridges – the Ponte dei Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the Rialto Bridge, while another bridge is being constructed. The new bridge is designed by Santiago Calatrava, and it will link the train station to the Piazzale Roma.

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.

  • 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.

The recovery is unusual, with the portico of Punta della Dogana taken from the Giudecca. To the right of the painting, the Doge's Palace is clearly visible. Behind it, you can then see the domes of the Basilica of San Marco. To the left, however, you can see the high column with the statue of St. Theodore and, finally, the bell tower of the Basilica of San Marco. The palaces overlooking the lagoon line up and continue beyond the left edge. In the foreground, some gondolas cross the San Marco basin. Above them, the gondoliers, standing, lead the boat while other men are seated below. The sky is clear except for a few white clouds that form the background of the city, while the typical Venetian light spreads from the Grand Canal. The canvas in question represents a derivation from Joseph Mallord William Turner's painting, The Bridge of Sighs, the Doge's Palace and the Dogana, Venice: Canaletto painting, exhibited in 1833 at the Tate Gallery, London.
