Intro
THE VENETIAN VILLA – ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION
“The Venetian Villa” invites designers to breathe new life into Villa Meneghetti, an abandoned yet historically significant complex in northern Italy. Much like in its early days, when noble Venetian families retreated to this serene countryside to escape the city’s frenetic pace, this residence could once again fulfil the role that shaped its legacy.
The goal is to reinterpret it as an Agriturismo, a contemporary program capable of transforming spaces once dedicated to education or production, into a fully immersive slow-tourism experience. Participants will have full creative freedom to propose interventions that respect the villa’s architectural heritage while enhancing its functionality.
By re-imagining it as a rural retreat, the competition aims to promote sustainable tourism and cultural preservation, emphasising the connection between architecture, nature and local traditions.
