Sketchbook: Mapping Contemporary Venice With Moleskine

September 2, 2010

As a side event of the 12th Biennale International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, Italy, Moleskine invited great architects, as well as students from major universities, to present a vision about contemporary Venice. The invited authors describe a conceptual journey towards Venice’s potential future, interpreted on the pages of a Moleskine notebook. Mapping Contemporary Venice is a new initiative — and the seventh stage — in the Detour project.  Visitors are free to browse the notebooks until September 20th.
