Add it up! envisions an adaptive and incremental development of the area of Porto Marghera. Following abandonment and decommissioning of the first industrial factory, it is expected to be rehabilitated by activities with high regenerative potential, able to reactivate the surrounding urban pattern.
Restoring infrastructure and ecological networks, starting from the implementation of what exists to a rebalance of the ecosystem equilibrium, bringing to zero the ratio of resources consumed and produced energy. The structure is self-sufficient and can continue to grow.
On the ashes of the ferocious exploitation of the lagoon, the new city will rise: collective, additional, metabolist, productive, bold, striking, whose towers will rise outsize. They have the task to shape new backgrounds, embody new symbols as monuments able to accelerate the processes of urbanization.
The new city is not growing in the wake of isolated and individual creative expression but from community decisions, in the exercise of real aspirations of a clearer definition of its identity.
