Alessandro Capellaro, an expert dream-weaver in architecture
Alessandro Capellaro ’s work has been published on Elle Decor magazine of Feb 2010
Alessandro Capellaro is primarily an architect: charter member of “Studio q-bic”, but he also teaches “Creative Processes in Visual Communication” al LdM.
The keywords of his acting as an architect are: integration of different languages and contemporary spaces in historical contexts.
He says: “ I love objects and their history, how they may fill and change a space. That’s the way I conceive my house”.
His house was originally a carpentry workshop. He enlarged it eliminating walls and creating big windows. He used 300 old wooden boxes (ancient ballot boxes he bought to an auction) to furnish it, together with colorful objects, vintage lamps and things made by himself.
His aim was to live in a sort of temporary accommodation, a space easy to move.
His objects keep their personality and harmoniously give shape to another reality in which they tie old threads with new ones and tell new stories.

Tadao Ando new museum in Venice
Tadao Ando_ Punta della Dogana Museum
The building of Punta della Dogana, an area of nearly 5,000 square meters is triangular.
It has frontage on the Grand Canal and the Giudecca Canal, both 105 meters long, and the base of the triangle has a length of 75 meters. Along these fronts the facades of Punta della Dogana are pierced by twenty monumental gates. Its inner structure is divided into nine halls arranged transversely, each with an average width of ten meters and a beam height of seven meters.
Tadao Ando_ Punta alla Dogana Museum
On the exterior, the balconies of the belvedere are 9 meters high and the tower dominated by Fortune, at the tip of Dorsoduro, rises 28 meters. The project conceived by architect Tadao Ando included restoration work at several levels:
1. Protection against water
2. Structural consolidation and restoration of the masonry
3. Technological galleries and electrical systems
4. Architectural concrete elements
5. The floors
6. Exterior frames
7. The roofing
8. The sculpture group
80% of the perimeter of Punta della Dogana borders on the water of the Lagoon; in addition, it was not possible to count on a sufficient site area adjoining the building. Consequently, the site logistics were entirely carried out via water. A temporary port, jobsite areas built on piles, and the use of barges and pontoons made it possible to handle over 10,000 tons of different materials, with over 2,000 trips from the shore.
