Operational Synthesis

The core of this proposal is an attempt to remedy the failing infrastructure of venice. By the use of amphibious ielements hidden beneath the canals & buildings, the city is able to come back alive. the system is comprised of a primary stage of nitrogen ballasts, to hold the buildings up, waste & sewage treatment mechanisms, network databanks for information infrastructure, and an algae biofuel harvester to sequester the inherent energy in the lagoon ecology.

Each module is balanced in tandem by its opposite counterpart, to accomodate for the turbulence during high tide, and future uses in weight. the exisiting piles are trimmed to accomodate this system. the nitrogen ballasts removes the need for the piles and saves them from the dangers of the sedimentary lagoon bed and turbulent water conditions.
