Description

Venice is undoubtedly one of the most written about cities and certainly the most photographed one. And yet, here's another guide on Venice. Five walking tours take you to discover the modern Venice, the lesser-known side of the city, hidden and far away from the well-known places.

These proposed itineraries guide you to the new residential areas and restored warehouse docks, to the works of Carlo Scarpa and Tadao Ando, to modern restructurings and the controversial and much-discussed MOSE project (Experimental Electromechanical Module) against the high water.

Venice's unrealized but equally famous projects are also included, allowing you to let your imagination take you to Louis Kahn's Congress Centre or Le Corbusier's hospital. Current aerial photographs showcase Venice from unknown perspectives.
