Laboratory abstract

"The Place of Glass Murano: Past_Present_Future" A fundamental studio theme is the investigation of the interplay (continuity and/or fracture) amongst tradition, history, heritage, modernity, transformation, innovation, and change, with examinations and explorations that will link the past, present and future to the contemporary world and the contemporary sense of things, with an explicit awareness and connection to the past, as well as with an eye to the future. The specific focus of the studio is about the future of Murano, Italy and specifically its long-standing position with glass and glass making. While this falls within the general condition of towns (in and beyond Italy) currently facing declines in populations, economic activity and overall sustainability, the particular historical and current conditions in Murano and with the artisan glass factories are specific and particular. The student's work is at various scales and in various ways, including master planning at the urban scale and specific developed interventions at medium and smaller scales. The studio’s primary collaborator and sponsor is WonderGlass; in addition others collaborating partners are: Nason Moretti, BTM and Punta Conterie.

Fenice is what Murano needs right now. Because of climate change, the island is going to be underwater by 2100. Fenice starts from the idea that it is possible to coexist with water by leaving it its vital space. The project determines the shift of the old city of Murano in hight creating several new layers. This departure from water defines a reversed reality where people are going to walk on the existing roofs and enter their houses from above. However, the connection with water is preserved because of the introduction of the water-level and of a land art installation. The former features different experiences to get people in touch with the deepest and ancient soul of Murano. The latter aims to show people that water needs its space and that they have to respect this.
