A city that lives as though it were suspended between land and water. A place where the complexity of urban life is diluted by the rhythms set by nature and by the relationship – the only one of its kind in the world – between the breath of the sea and the bustling busyness of dry land.

Venice is an international city of commerce and history, tourism and the arts. City of major exhibitions and intense emotions, of the Biennale and the Golden Lion, of carnival along every canal and in every square, but also of silent islands and forests waiting to be discovered.

IED established close contact with cultural, economic and production systems, whose values it recognises and respects,inaugurating its new location in 2007 on the Island of Certosa, a perfect place for studying, researching and building on the topics that constitute the city’s most intimate identity. The courses at IED Venice are the result of this ideal commitment and of the innovative approach for which the Institute is renowned.
