Whole artwork view. Yellow headline over the black and white map of a project by Michele Reginaldi, Daniela Saviola and Mario Tassoni for the Border of the Lagoon near Venice; their work, for a PhD dissertation, puts the issue of the architectural definition of the gronde, or borders, of the Venice Lagoon; the map, denoted on the left by the white caption Architecture for planning (L'architettura del piano), shows the area near the fortress of Marghera, a stronghold defended by embankments and canals, built by the Austrians from 1805; above the fortress, located near the wetlands between the lagoon and the mainland, one sees the line of a highway, a new building and some farmlands all around the few houses of San Giuliano.
