The challenge of the competition is the recovery and the transformation of the island of Poveglia_Venice IT_ into a new cultural epicenter, embracing the theme of green city.

The project proposes a flexible system which can help to operate in a historical and landscape context with the respect of the existing.

The design of the new campus in the island of Poveglia_Venice, Italy_ comes from a single gesture, a line, that runs through the entire site and allows to connect the two major islands. This line takes on a thickness and shows itself as an inhabited wall which sets a limit to construction, beyond which persists only the wilderness area, and allows you to mediate the relationship between architecture and nature itself. This is the idea for the new campus: a space in which the boundaries between inside and outside are canceled, to enable each student to be in a dimension that can make him enjoy his condition throughout the day, allowing the green to be an essential component for the well-being of each inhabitant of the campus.

The project consists in equipping the site with a single system made by metallic portals: so it is not a constructed object, but a light structure, which meanders between green, without deleting it, but accepting it inside, trying to limit the consumption of soil. The basic module is a square of 4.00 by 4.00 m, and it allows to build three specific areas.

Square
The succession of pillars creeps between the historic architectural structures, in order to give a readable form to the vacuum that exists between them, and at the same time allow to connect them.

Classroom
The succession of pillars defines a linear and transparent wall, which houses inside the classrooms, connected by a light walkway that creeps between the two arms.

Residences
The succession of pillars defines a wall that turning on itself and becoming completely green, creating a court with precise limits, in order to define an intimate space, typical of Venetian architecture.

The form that assumes this wall is not random, but results from a reading of the city architecture of Venice, built by linear structures side by side with a distribution element interposed. Furthermore, the choice of the gabled roof is reinterpreted in a contemporary way in order to deal with the historical architecture and compared to this does not exceed the height, defining a uniform skyline.
