Teatro al Mare

A complementary design approach at the Lido

At the Lido, a long-stretched island in the lagoon of Venice, an old run-down theatre with a beautiful interior is standing close to the beach. It used to be an active part of the Ospedale al Mare, a former hospital at the Adriatic sea. Withdrawn from sight by an overgrown succession field, il teatro is waiting to be kissed awake. The aim of this short-design-study is to develop a design of a public „culture-park“ with connection to the beach, integrating the existing built structures and taking into account the potentials of succession vegetation influenced by the mediterranean climate and coastline conditions.

This short-design-study will be implemented into the research field of “writing as a design tool”. In the practice of landscape architecture, design usually takes place on a visual level: using models, sketches, drawings, plans or perspectives. But research shows that writing in the design process has valuable qualities that do not compete with the visual approach, but rather enrich and complement it. Therefore, the design tools of RUSH WRITING and NARRATIVE WRITING will be introduced and used together with the classical design tools such as sketching and drawing throughout the design process.
