Water and Asphalt, The Project of Isotropy in the Metropolitan Region of Venice

The process of dispersion can be related to the spatial configuration of diffused and isotropic infrastructures. Isotropy is an extreme and ideal figure: the territory is not perfectly isotropic and it is not homogeneous. Today a new project of isotropy is at the same time the acknowledgement of a territorial specificity; a scenario to be investigated in its manifold consequences; a design hypothesis that can be concretely devised in terms of intervention on the water system, on roads and public transport, alternative mobility, forms of diffused welfare, innovative agriculture, decentralized production of energy.
The research is based on the hypothesis that new conditions exist today for re-devising the isotropic space in the metropolitan area of Venice.
