Within the new L’Accademia-bridge the archetypical forms of Venetian bridges and buildings are merged together. The design tries not to replicate the existing, but uses its typical forms and rules and convert them into a new and respectful architectural language which allows the building to blend into its historical and cultural context. Subtle divisions are made both within the floor plans and the surface of the façade. Divisions that are related to the interior measurements and perspective viewpoints of the city of Venice.
By entering, the passage-walkway makes contact with the waterfront below the bridge. The Vaporettos on the south and Gondolas on the north. Upwards the passage leads to the museums working spaces and further above the upper floor level. Here you will find the museums entrance, cafeteria and experience a magnificent view over the Canal Grande.
