The 'Gateway to Venice's Waterway', created by the Norman Foster Foundation and Porsche, debuted at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale. This 37-meter installation transforms Venice's traditional canal transportation into a contemporary model for urban mobility, addressing climate change and urban density. It symbolizes a crucial shift in transportation infrastructure in historical settings, combining innovative design with the city’s iconic bridges. Displayed at the Arsenale until November 23, 2025, the structure functions as an active transport hub while embodying aesthetics and functionality using inspiration from Porsche's electric vehicle design.
Gateway to Venice's Waterway merges architectural innovation with automotive engineering, reinterpreting the city's canal system into a model for sustainable urban mobility.
The installation challenges conventional transportation infrastructure in heritage-rich environments, harmonizing modern technology with Venice's historical context.
