Venice building foundations, artwork C016 / 7703
Venice building foundations. Computer artwork showing the foundations of a typical building in Venice, Italy. Venice is built on the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline, between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. In order to support the citys buildings on such soft ground, the foundations consist of long wooden piles driven deep into the ground (seen here)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate foundations of a typical building in Venice, Italy. Known for its unique architectural marvels, Venice stands on the marshy Venetian Lagoon that stretches along the shoreline between the Po and Piave Rivers. To overcome the challenges posed by this soft ground, engineers have ingeniously designed long wooden piles as foundation supports for these magnificent structures. In this computer artwork by Claus Lunau from Science Photo Library, we are granted a fascinating cross-section view of these specialized foundations. The illustration highlights how these wooden piles are driven deep into the ground to provide stability and support to the city's buildings. It is through such innovative engineering techniques that Venice has managed to defy nature's obstacles and create an awe-inspiring urban landscape. The image not only captures the technological prowess involved in constructing such structures but also emphasizes their significance in preserving Venetian heritage. With water flowing beneath them, these sectioned foundations serve as a testament to human ingenuity harmonizing with natural surroundings. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we are reminded of Venice's rich history and its enduring architectural legacy. This artwork serves as a reminder of how man-made wonders can seamlessly blend with their environment while standing tall against all odds.
