06.06.18 - Design project by Daniels faculty & alumni explores how a hotel could help support social housing in Venice

Hotel Giudecca 2028, a design project by Daniels Postdoctoral Fellow Roberto Damiani in collaboration with Emma Dunn (MArch 2015), Mina Hanna (MArch 2015), and Zoé Renaud (MArch 2015), will be featured in the 2018 Unfolding Pavilion: Giudecca Social Housing / Little Italy, curated by Davide Tommaso Ferrando, Daniel Tudor Munteanu, and Sara Favargiotti on the Giudecca island in Venice.

Sited between the social housing complex designed by the Italian architect Gino Valle and the southern shore of the island, Hotel Giudecca 2028 is a design proposal for an open-framework hotel to provide the adjacent social housing complex with economic support and new amenities, and to promote more conscious modes of tourism.

The 2018 Unfolding Pavilion: Giudecca Social Housing / Little Italy opened on May 25th in Venice, with the opening of the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale.
