F1604 The Architectural and Urban Heritage of Venice in Modern and Contemporary Times
Zucconi Guido, Di Lenardo Isabella
Together with a series of detailed description, this course aims at providing a critical introduction to the architectural and urban features of Venice, specifically considering how architecture and art has contributed to create a particular idea of the city. Such a matter acquires particular significance in the transition from the XVIII.th to the XIX.th century, when Venice was losing its status of capital city and dramatically changing its traditional role of “dominante” [dominating city].
Learning outcomes of the course
Starting from a suite of highlights and from a number of case studies, we want students to get acquainted with the guidelines concerning cultural, historic and artistic heritage related to modern and contemporary Venice from XVIII.th to XX.th century. Through this course, students will become familiar with the principal pieces of architecture and the artistic references, in particular with those which are a constituent part of the urban context.
The first part of the course until midterm break will be taught by prof. di Lenardo, the second part by prof. Zucconi.
