BEVILACQUA VELVET FACTORY / Juliet Burch 3rd year





 

  




BEVILACQUA VELVET FACTORY / Juliet Burch



This building is a factory for the Venetian company Bevilacqua, which will enable them to expand their business to accommodate for the growing demand of their fabric. Furthermore the building is an exhibition of Bevilacqua’s products with interior spaces being created, divided, multiplied and enrobed with their fabric. Visitors can follow the production process from above as they walk around the building, from the initial stages of production to the finished fabric- which travels up from the ground floor through to the top of the building where it can be purchased, marking the end of the visitor’s journey. The building is a celebration of Venice’s ancient velvet manufacturing industry, the Venetian desire for quality but most importantly a celebration of an acclaimed Venetian company.
