Piazza San Marco




Venice hosts 12 million visitors a year. Piazza San Marco has always been at the heart of the city. High tides flood the plaza over a hundred times a year.

Can they function on multiple levels? Can the high tides become celebrated (rather than dreaded) events allowing for a new experience in San Marco?
