HOME AND SOCIAL LIFE IN VENICE

Here are a selection of drawings that were done as part of a 5th year project entitled ‘Home and Social Life in Venice”. The site used is archetypical of the many Campi found in Venice, that are the basis of the city’s urban fabric. The site was annexed by the imposing Chiesa san Barnaba and the square in front has been the location for many films including ‘Summer time’ (1955) starring Katherine Hepburn. A canal with towpath ran alongside the length of the site leaving a narrow, yet interesting space to work with. The programme was meant to confront the issues of living in Venice including the vast numbers of tourists that can be found there. In my case as a response to the site’s history as a place of gambling and gaming, I decided to model an international Bridge tournament (The Venice cup) hall with local bridge club facilities.
