Exploring a sail structure to cover the historic dry docks at the Arsenale di Venezia — part of a larger project on shipbuilding culture in Venice
These are three early explorations toward covering the bacini — Venice’s historic dry docks. The idea was to find a structural logic rooted in shipbuilding itself. A sail covering what once built sails.
Part of a larger project called Redivivus, imagining the restitution of craft and boat-building culture at the Arsenale as a way to reform Venice’s economy and reduce tourism dependence.
Happy to talk about the project if anyone is interested.
