The industrial area of Porto Marghera is a vast productive area that, deeply marked by the crisis that started in the 1980s, presents itself as an unresolved territory and, precisely for this reason, able to generate, with greater freedom, development scenarios of strategic interest on a regional scale. In order to govern its redevelopment process, the Venice City Council has endowed itself with a specific urban planning tool aimed at integrating the industrial pole into the urban fabric, reorganising its space, creating optimal conditions for the settlement of new entrepreneurial initiatives and promoting functional interventions for the adaptation and enhancement of the infrastructure system.
Within these planning purposes, and in the context of the broader redevelopment project involving the new Venice Fruit and Vegetable Market (MOF), is the project for the construction of the new swimming pool in Marghera, located in an area undergoing transformation, dense with infrastructures that often represent real physical – sometimes psychological – barriers, against which the project is opposed by creating a connection with the city.
In fact, one of the objectives connected to the construction of the MOF and the new swimming facility was and remains that of transforming a simple road connecting one place to another in the industrial city into an urban space with a public vocation.
The new swimming facility houses a main pool for water polo and swimming activities, both at competitive and amateur level, a secondary pool for fitness courses and water activities for children, as well as all the necessary service spaces, including a gymnasium.
