Venice Futures

A multidisciplinary urban strategy project exploring how cultural innovation and youth participation could help build a more sustainable economic future for Venice.

Why it mattered

Venice faces a difficult tension: preserving its extraordinary cultural heritage while creating an economy and city that younger generations can actively participate in. This was where I first recognized that the work I’m most passionate about lives at the intersection of culture, strategy, and economic development.

The proposition

Academy of Venetian Arts

A living future for Venetian craft.

I proposed a community-centered model designed to preserve and reimagine Venetian craft traditions while creating new opportunities for young creatives, artisans, and cultural entrepreneurship.
