Venice a City in Five Images

1. 5 aspects that make Venice unique

• brick restoration - the salt water that fills the canals wears away the bricks over time and causes them to desintergrate. this means they often need to be replaced which involves the isolation of various canals, drainage and rebuilding of the walls.
• flooding - the tides in venice can cause a whole area of the city to flood if it is high enough above average. this doesnt happen as regularly anywhere else in the world.
• bridges - there are 438 bridges in venice which is a lot more than there used to be. bridges make it easier to get from place to place in venice and the use of boats and canoes and the like has become less and less needed, although they are still a major part of the cities cultural identity.
• building techniques - the buildings on venice are structured to suit their geographical location and environment. the walls are designed so they will lean inwards if they do lean at all. this means the floors wont fall through as they are being pushed together. if the walls leant outwards the floors would loose its support and cave in.
• sewerage - the sewearge in venice is very unique as it doesnt really run through a labyrinth of pipes, it simply gets depositied into the surrounding canals.
