theantidote: Louis I. Kahn | Palazzo dei Congressi, 1968 Venice The initial program called for a meeting hall to hold 2,500 to 3,000 persons; “a site of encounter” in Kahn’s words. Kahn responded vigorously to the site, conceiving a reinforced concrete structure hung like a bridge and offering views of Venice and the lagoon from openings in its roof. Referring to St. Mark’s Basilica in the distance, Kahn proposed covering the three domes with lead. “I was constantly asking each building I love so much in Venice whether they would accept me in their company.” In 1972, out of concern for the overcrowding of the gardens, an alternative site was selected for the project in the shipbuilding district of the Arsenale. Here the Congress Hall design became a true bridge, its pairs of rectangular piers set on either side of an inlet of the canal. Via 1 (via onsomething: onsomething:)
