Venice’s Domestic Archipelago: The Lagoon Urban Dynamics in a Digital Infrastructure

From the 16th century, Venice became critically conscious of the granular nature of its hinterland, constructing a governance that involved the cluster of over 60 islands forming its water fringes. More than an ornamental frame or neutral space for the city, lagoon sites served as structures for the political, socio-economic and cultural needs of the State. They were spiritual places for welcoming religious communities, centres for housing fortified outposts and hospitals, spaces for state lodging services, as well as fertile territories for new architectural design. The fall of the Republic (1797) profoundly changed this understanding and altered the reading of the city as an organic entity that encompasses the watery ecosystem.
The “Archipelago project” reconstructs and visualizes the ancient configuration of these places and the relationships that once defined the Venetian lagoon through a transdisciplinary approach, which combines history, architecture, social studies and semantic web technologies. This entails the development of a geospatial and time-based research infrastructure that enables the intersection of historical data with georeferenced maps and digital reconstructions to express the urban processes that shaped the city.
