Abstract

Questo saggio, a partre dall’enorme archivio di proget non realizzat per la laguna di Venezia, contestualizza tre piani (mai realizzat o compiut solo in parte) con l’obietvo generale di defnire nuovi strument e argomentazioni per problematzzare più a fondo gli intervent infrastruturali atualmente in corso. Quest proget, infat, sono casi paradigmatci con cui raccontare come specifci modelli di razionalizzazione del territorio si siano susseguit e come quest abbiano interpretato la laguna nell’ultmo secolo. Nello specifco, verrà dimostrato come a proget puntuali corrispondano specifche visioni della laguna all’interno di un quadro geografco di relazioni più estese.

Starting from the extensive archive of unrealized projects for the Venice lagoon, the essay contextualizes three plans (never or partially completed) in the aim of defining new tools and argumentations to further problematize the ongoing infrastructural interventions. These projects, indeed, are paradigmatic cases in order to report how specific models of rationalization of the territory came in succession and how they interpreted the lagoon during last century. In the specific, it will be demonstrated how distinct projects translate the lagoon environment within relations of a wider geographic context.
