THE CANALETTO MUSEUM
The Canaletto Museum at Misericordia, Venice Located on the very northern edge of the Venice, in what is the missing urban piece of the city, is the Canaletto Museum. The aim of this proposal is to create an environment stemmed from the city's main urban elements to showcase the work of Canaletto, who's illustrations depicting the city often not only portrayed it as a vibrant settlement, but also as a set of moments. As a threshold from the city to lagoon, the site is to create a lasting impression on visitors to Venice.

1. What is "story" of your design? / Design Concept:
The Four Freedoms Foundation's design plan is extremely significant for the island and its historical context. Because of the island's linear layout, visitors must pass through or avoid other locations in order to get direct to the ticket booth. In order to solve this, the design divides the form into several sections, offering a variety of viewpoints that cover the entire area. Additionally, the pedestrian paths are strategically designed to ensure an uninterrupted flow for park usage and access to the end which leads to ticket booth. The division of form creates new opportunities to seamlessly integrate the overall program into the existing landscape.
2. Explain how the design is "heavy" and / or "light" and why?
The proposed design will be a mix of heavy and light with the multiple solid symmetrical forms as heavy, but with cutouts forming the courtyards as light and material selection can depict the form as light as well.
3. Explain how the design is "mono-type" and/or "multi-type" and why?
The concept is multi-type since the blocks are assembled with different view axes and program requirements, which help to provide the site's historical context.
4. Explain how the "linearity" or "network: influenced your design.
The notion of conducting a longitudinal study was initially provided by linearity studies, while the idea of dividing the program into several blocks came from network studies.
5. How is your design a response or development of contemporary architectural concepts and technologies?
In the realm of historical relevance and current monument, the design presents a modern form. The design integrates with the existing context by taking into consideration the existing landscape and park and integrating it with the site-level programs.
