Giudecca: between residences and productive landscapes

Suspended between Venice and the lagoon, Giudecca offers a reading of the city shaped by contrasts: on one side, residences set within green surroundings; on the other, a long-standing productive vocation that has defined its character.

Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the island emerged as a working counterpart to the historic centre, accommodating activities that could no longer find space within it. Architectures such as the Molino Stucky bear witness to this transformation, alongside a widespread network of shipyards, workshops and manufacturing activities that have left a profound mark on the landscape.

Today, among quiet cloisters, waterside views and repurposed industrial volumes, a subtler geography comes into view, shaped by continuity and adaptation.

It is from these layers that our perspective takes form: journeys that read the city through its balances, revealing a Venice that is less exposed, yet more meaningful.
