Call for Urban Regeneration in Venice's Metropolitan Area
The Order of Architects PPC of the Province of Venice has launched a call titled 'Da spazio a luoghi/From Space to place' for the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. The project aims to identify strategies to revitalize abandoned spaces in the Metropolitan City of Venice, transforming them from mere spaces into meaningful places. Participants must submit a 1.5-minute video analyzing a specific area within the metropolitan territory, proposing a new use and demonstrating improvements. The deadline is October 30, 2018. Submissions will be reviewed by a commission and exhibited at the Padiglione Venezia during the Biennale. The initiative seeks to restore the architect's central role in society and promote urban and social regeneration.
