Aldo Rossi 'Teatro del Mondo'




the venetian original
aldo rossi designed the ‘teatro del mondo’ orginally for the
venice biennale in 1979. the idea was to recall the floating theatres
which were so characteristic of venice and its carnivals in the
18th century. its ephemeral apparition, and its very transience has
become its ‘raison d'etre’. constructed in the fushina shipyards,
it was towed by sea (by a tugboat) to the punta della dogana
where it remained through the biennale.
