La Giudecca La Giudecca 30133 Venice La Giudecca represents the largest individual island in Venice It is actually made up of eight small islands that are interconnected by a number of bridges In 1995 the City Council has initiated the Giudecca ProjectThe urban layout of the project recognizes the presence of two heterogeneous scales: dense fabric on the North side of the island versus more sparse industrial precincts overlooking the lagoon towards the South The project acts a sort of "microsurgery" in the former industrial area, including both radical transformations by refurbishment or new construction as well as slight modifications of the existing buildings and open spaces The ex-junghans precinct is thus opened up to the city, creating a new outlook toward the extraordinary landscape of the Laguna New paths are opened in the gaps between the industrial buildings, a new canal is excavated, and a new urban square bordered by the existing school garden generates a long and interesting view toward the South Public access unknown! 2002, Urban planner Cino Zucchi Judeca Nova SpA http://wwwmimoaeu/users/mariacamtz/guides/venice/ 7

Spanish Pavilion for the Venice Giardini Pubblici 30122 Venice Inaugurated in 1922, the Spanish Pavilion for the Venice was originally designed by Javier De Luque and has a remembrance of late XVII-century Castilian baroque The façade consists of columns and typical baroque floral decoration In 1952, architect Joaquin Vaquero Palacios was asked to redesign the façade The new façade is conceived as a canvas of bricks Only two sculptures, representing bears, were to stand on the sides of the entrance 8-1922 Associate architect Javier de Luque Joaquin Vaquero Palacios Spanish Government lmattozz Get off at the Giardini boat station and walk towards the entrance http://wwwmimoaeu/users/mariacamtz/guides/venice/ 9
Japanese Pavilion for the Venice Giardini Pubblici 30122 Venice In 1955, thanks to a donation from Shojiro Ishibashi, director of the Bridgestone Modern Art Gallery in Tokyo, the Japanese government is willing to build a Japanese pavilion at the Venice The architect in charge is Takamasa Yoshizaka, a collaborator of Le Corbusier between 1950 and 1952 The building has much to do with the traditional and the modern in relation to Japanese culture The square plan is supported by four concrete walls and elevated above the ground The building is a massive concrete structure that shows its nervatures 6-1956 Takamasa Yoshizaka Japanese Government lmattozz Get off at the Giardini boat station and walk towards the entrance http://wwwmimoaeu/users/mariacamtz/guides/venice/ 10
