1000 GLOSSY PAGES OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE
Southern Europe is comprised of Albania, Croatia, Greece,
Italy, Slovenia and Turkey.
In this section, Tadao Ando Architect & Associates'
stunning remodeling of della Dogana Contemporary Art Center in Venice is
featured:
"This project involved remodeling the 15th century
government-owned Agcustom house in the sea into a modern art museum."
"The design was chosen by means of a
competition."
The volume forms a triangle that directly corresponds to
the shape of the tip of Dorsoduro Island."
Through exposing the brick walls and wooden roof trusses,
the space retrieved its energy and the memories of the former sea customs were
revived."
"In the center of the building, a square space spans
over two rows as a result of an earlier renovation."
"This structure was retained and a concrete box was
inserted that dramatically transformed the space."
"Through a dialogue between old and new elements,
the building links its past history to the present and future."
The book sells for $125.
