Abstract
The project proposal is a houseboat with a very simple shape, it remembers the archetype of the house that everyone immediately recognize - to resume the idea of the floating World Theatre by Aldo Rossi in Venice.
The house aims to have five internal spaces:
a place for the water, the bath
a place for rest, the bedroom
a place for study, the library,
a place to eat, the kitchen,
a place to share and stay, the living area
Each room has a unique character, which is recognizable to its habitability.
Each space contains an individual intrinsic value, keeping at the same time a relationship with others.
It is a floating house so it can be positioned everywhere along the Lagoon canals.
Location
Venetian Lagoon, Venice, Italy
