Zaha’s Pantalone

Usually I pass, close the tab or turn the page. I tend to get dizzy to boredom with this projects. This time it caught my eye. Near Venice, Zaha and gli amici went Comedia dell’arte and designed Jesolo Magica. And funny funny they chose the old venitian tradesman Pantalone with his big nose like a beak and furred eyes. The complex is actually a retail and leisure centre. The concepts seem to match. Even because the building seems a bit scary and so does the character. Well thought signore Matteuzzi.
