WAVe 2026 — Università Iuav di Venezia
As part of its ongoing research into contemporary public space, Enrico Dusi Studio led a workshop as part of WAVe 2026 at Università Iuav di Venezia, using the design of the new Rialto Market—the studio’s first project in the historic centre of Venice, currently under construction—as its case study.
Working with 60 students, the workshop explored the future of the Venetian campo through 10 questions and 10 pairs of alternative design scenarios, investigating how public space might respond to the social, economic and cultural transformations reshaping the city.
Rather than proposing definitive solutions, the research positions architectural design as a critical tool for testing ideas, questioning established assumptions and imagining new forms of public life.
The outcomes of the workshop were exhibited in Hall O2 at the Cotonificio, Università Iuav di
Venezia, during WAVe 2026 and as part of the celebrations marking the University’s 100th
anniversary
