Florence Fashion Week Floating Piazza
To return the Arno river, now an ignored heath hazard, to a sustainable centre of Florentine city life, new uses and activities must be found that are destinations for Florentines not just tourists.
To rebuild Florence as the Italian Fashion capital the river becomes home to a reconfigurable floating piazza that hosts the new Florence Fashion Festival. This infrastructure must accommodate the program of many different events but also the seasonal rise and fall of the river and the danger of flooding.
