Venezia Lifestyle Center
On completion of the Venice Technological Scientific Park (VEGA pst), in 2001, an abandoned, run-down area of about one hectare remained in the triangular site. The ruin of industrial archaeology that occupied it used to be a former fertiliser warehouse. The city council’s intention was to make that area into a ‘technological sound centre’ (City of Music).
After five years the ‘City of Music’ project lapsed and in 2006 the area was assigned to the development company Nova Marghera Spa.
The restructuring of the former fertiliser warehouse (2008-2012) does not alter its shape and reformulates the playful nature of the first design, making it into a meeting centre with service functions in the centre of the areas that the Town Plan allocates to the VEGA pst.
