CAMPI: THE OUTDOOR LIVING ROOMS OF VENICE

workshop 04 June - 02 July
When you walk through the narrow streets of Venice, you will regularly be surprised by beautiful open public spaces, called „campi” by the Venetians. A campo (‚field”) is not the same as a piazza (‚square”), but also here you will find playing children, gossiping ladies and drinking students; the campi are in fact the living rooms of the city.

Follow this workshop because:
  • you would like to experience and to give insight into an urban space by means of drawings and models
  • you would like to learn how you could research what urban elements are important for the spatial quality of a square
  • you would like to see the city of Venice and the Art Exhibition "La Biennale di Venezia" once in a different way (or from the perspective of an urban designer)

After the workshop your work will be part of a small exhibition about the Venetian Campi in Deventer.
