EXCAVATIONAL STRATA: THE EXCAVATION FOR THE LOST CITY OF TORCELLO / Matt Sawyer 2nd year











EXCAVATIONAL STRATA: THE EXCAVATION FOR THE LOST CITY OF TORCELLO / Matt Sawyer

Plunging into the depths of the Torcello Lagoon we find an ancient civilization thought to be lost. Through the removal of earth stratas are created allowing an immersive landscape of layers to divulge. The celebration of this lost city is physically documented through time by the use of a complex ecology, which embeds itself within the site regenerating the desolate marshland giving life once again to a lost thriving city. The celebration is the main activity although a natural exchange between the site and the marsh exists within an internal waterwall in a celebration of nature alongside the great civilization.
