Author: Molinari, LucaThis volume follows the long-anticipated restoration work on the Procuratie Vecchie in St Mark’s Square in Venice, as overseen by David Chipperfield Architect s. Thousands of people walk past the landmark each year, oblivious to what resides within. In April 2022, the building opened for the first time in 500 years, housing humanitarian organisations such as the Human Safety Net foundation. This title gathers essays from scholars that convey the project’s pluralistic vision.St Mark's Square is often regarded as Venice's central community complex; Venice, in turn, is often regarded across the globe as an architectural mecca. Accordingly, the major restoration has drawn a number of critical reflections by both Italian and international thinkers. ISBN 9791254630143.
