Sara Marini, architect and professor in Architectural and Urban Composition at Iuav University in Venice, tells us about some of her latest editorial projects that analyse and interpret Venice from an architectural point of view and beyond. We will discuss important examples of architectural recovery and re-purposing of buildings in the city, also exploring Sara Marini's research on the re-use of abandoned churches in Venice, with a particular focus on the church of San Lorenzo, now the home of Ocean Space.
