PIAZZA IN VICENZA

Study model for proposed Museum

 

Graduate Work - Syracuse University's Florence Program - 1991-1992
The program was to build a museum in the Piazza Matteotti of Vicenza, site of Andrea Palladio's Pallazo Chiericati and Teatro Olimpico.  I used the Venetian urban design motifs of regionally inspired columns and sculptures to control the public space and anchor vistas.  The building mediates between the Palazzo Chericati and the opposite side.  The courtyard opens up to the river with a colonnade at the first floor and the rear 'market' piazza takes a more sculptural tack.  The architecture seeks to hold the main axis of the reconfigured piazza with a two story order yet is deferential to Pallazo Chiericati in the overall height.
