De-Laocoöning-the-Lagoon: Salvation Engineering for Venice

A Proposal to Regenerate the Storied City

Imagine befriending the sea. This could be the key to everything.

In 2020, I wrote the proposal and sent it to Italy, and found a few minutes of break to publish it today: https://davehuer.com/concepts-for-geo-engineering/de-laocooning-the-lagoon-salvation-engineering-for-venice/

Venice is losing the battle to save itself. The challenge is the nature of the location.

Imagine re-imagining the nature of the location. Imagine turning the sea into benefit. Imagine the city-inside-a-lagoon-inside-the-lagoon.

An engineered lagoon city.
