At the site of the Antica Dogana di Verona we were as- signed to design a multipurpose public plaza. The Dogana is currently occupied by a canoe club, who’s goal is to preserve the idea of traveling by water via canoe. During the days of the Renaissance, rivers were the highways that allowed the population to transport goods and themselves from city to city, creating a network that is comparable to today’s highways and roads. This summer studio gave us the opportunity to design something that would function well with its surrounding and also bring some light onto the canoe club of Verona. My partner and I decided to keep the structure of the ancient dogana building to preserve the history of it and to reprogram the interior spaces to be sleeping spaces for any passing canoe travelers. Canoe club members tend to travel via river out of leisure, and after traveling from an entirely different city via canoe, travelers need a place to rest and store their equipment. On the northern side of the site there is a large vehicular and pedestrian intersection, which led us to design a space that begins with one large circulation path and then splits into 3 main paths. This gives people the option to engage the river, the site, or the city by walking on the street. In order to show the multiple paths circulation through the project, I created this sliced diagrammatic model to better represent and display the options that people have when entering the site.
