METROPOLIS ? – VENISE ARCHITECTURE BIENNALE

The project explores the metropolis not as a built mass but as a territory structured by emptiness, which is no longer seen as a lack but as an active and fundamental material. In contrast to the saturated historic city, the metropolis opens up free, fertile spaces capable of accommodating new uses, forms of mobility, and ways of life. Fullness and emptiness cease to be opposites and become interdependent, revealing not what separates but what connects. Thus, a metropolitan cartography is redrawn, freed from administrative boundaries and anchored in the real practices of the territory. In this vision, emptiness becomes the most vibrant, most inhabited space, open to invention and sharing, a space for collective projection as much as for individual freedom.
