TOPOGRAPHICAL VOIDS - A LAGOON RESEARCH CENTRE / Elizabeth Johnson
Venice is in a state of disarray with the effects of climate change meaning that in 100 years time the extraordinary and fragile city of Venice will no longer exist.
The aim of this design was to raise awareness of the lagoons ecological complexity and beauty through both a museum based around the findings of the venetian atlas ‘Atlanta della Laguna’; exhibiting historical and contemporary data on the area's geography, hydrology, bio-diversity and the flora and fauna to illuminating the fragile ecological balance of the lagoon and the consequences of its disruption for the city of Venice. And live research laboratories that creates both a live exhibition space and allows the visitors to understand and learn about how we can ensure the survival of the city.
