Snøhetta hosts Venice Studio on architecture and outdoor spaces
Venice Studio is an annual design workshop in Venice, Italy for students and recent graduates worldwide. Studios are led by established and emerging offices of architecture and urbanism.
This project, in collaboration with TBA-21, challenges students to explore the concept of a Hortus Conclusus, an enclosed garden, and the transition between architecture and outdoor spaces within Venice’s unique urban fabric. Students will investigate the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor environments, promoting a productive interaction with nature while reflecting on the role such gardens have in urban renewal and sustainability. Our activities will focus on the vibrant neighbourhood of Campo San Lorenzo in Castello, providing a tangible urban context for students to apply and visualise their designs. This studio seeks to inspire a new generation of architects to create integrated, sustainable spaces that enhance community interaction and environmental awareness.
