Modernist Venice Map cuts through the city's Renaissance reputation to chart the overlooked Modernist and Brutalist structures that twentieth-century architects left across the lagoon — a pocket-sized guide to a Venice most visitors never find.
About This Book
Venice is so thoroughly associated with its pre-modern fabric that the city's twentieth-century architecture is almost entirely invisible to the casual visitor. This map from Blue Crow Media corrects that blind spot, documenting hidden Modernist and Brutalist structures across the city. Curated by Marco Mulazzani, professor of the history of architecture at the University of Venice, the selection carries genuine scholarly authority. Original photography by Alessandra Chemollo grounds each site in its current condition. Produced in both English and Italian, it functions equally as a research tool and a field guide for architects, historians, and design-literate travellers serious about reading the city in full.
