A post-modern reflection in Venice

Share via

Like a chameleon mimicking its surroundings, this postmodern residence in Venice changes its appearance throughout the day, thanks to a rippling aluminum shell that reflects the movement of the sun.

Local artist and designer Mario Romano used computer algorithms to produce the random, metallic siding that curves up the front facade of the home. The wavelike appearance was inspired by “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa,” the 19th-century woodblock print by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai.
