The Problem in Venice
• Wells and fountains are
deteriorating
• Lack of public concern/interest for
public art condition
• No central authority in Venice for
the welfare of public art
Mission
• Continuing documentation of wellheads
• Creating a database of fountains
• Developing a system for prioritizing maintenance
• Create a non-profit organization
Background
• Could not build traditional wells
• Devised a system of cisterns for filtering
and collecting water
• Became a social center
Methodology
• Locating wells and fountains– Pre-existing Maps– Foot Search
• Cataloging and prioritizing – Database– Algorithm
Possible LocationsThis is an example of map of what we will use to search and locate the wellheads and fountains
