Let us move to an intelligent architecture, interactive, the pure sensation of space unencumbered by bricks and mortar.
Let us move to an environmentally friendly architecture to reintroduce to the town the joy of the seasons, the sun, wind, and rain.
What type of architecture does the up and coming generation existing as it does in real time, desire, with its feet in everyday life and its head in the global vision?
Venice, which is a mystical virtual world in 3D, where the individual, at the same time with his feet in the water, is travelling from one divine cartographical reference to another, amongst this teeming mass of humanity, once again Venice becomes the beating pulse of the world.
Venice has always been there, generation after generation, for men of the virtual world, men who, the world over, unite their strength through the Internet to change the world. Venice alone knows how to exist at the same time in this virtual world and the real world, but a real world connected and built with myths instead of bricks.
Venice will once again take the lead. She has always been ready to do so. Once again architecture will become the universal language, the focal point of the world. A museum bridge open to the sky, to place works of art in harmony with the surroundings. A great talking point for temporary exhibitions open to everybody. A dialogue between the works of art and the bridge, a living sculpture, continuing the cultural tradition of a “sculpture bridge” such as the Sant’Angelo Bridge in Rome (Bernini).
No longer do we create enclosed spaces, not even buildings. The new technological revolution, which follows in particular that of the gothic cathedrals, allows us to create spaces of great sensitivity, such as have never been seen before, using very little material. A museum exhibition platform created of a lacework of metal: a homage to the white stone lacework of the Venetian palaces.
Without its masts and sails, Venice is no longer itself. The time has come to bring them
back.
