An Oceanic Place is an entry project for YAC University Island architectural competition (2016). The given task was to design an university campus in Poveglia, an abandoned island into venetian lagoon.
Following Gilles Deleuze's paradigm, we can divide Venetian Lagoon's islands into the oceanic and the continental.
Radical, informal and independent like Poveglia the formers, built like fortified cities on the water the letters. This project meditates on the convenience to use an island as an university campus in an age of ever-changing culture, envisaging an informal place based on imaginative relations between different buildings and their surroundings.
According to Poveglia's present oceanic characters, this means looking to a place made of buildings and open spaces provided with informal arrangements but well-defined identities.
