Addresses: Perhaps the most significant issue in Venice at the moment is acqua alta and the rising of the sea level. Acqua alta is what the locals call the exceptionally high tides that flood most of the city for hours at time. These floods are partly due to the rising of the sea level which increases by an average of 3 mm per year. Acqua alta not only disturbs everyday life but also causes corrosion to the overall structure of Venice.
Solution: The idea of Brodo di Pesce focuses around eating a bowl of soup and essentially watching the sea level decline as you continue to eat. As the level of soup gets lower it will begin to reveal either a drawing on the inside of the bowl or maybe even a sculpture that is built into the bottom of the bowl. Drawing or sculpture will most likely be an outline of Venice. We will be attempting to find a company that will produce a few prototypes for us as to get an idea of what we would like for the final design. These special bowls will only be available in certain resaurants in Venice, to be determined, and can only be ordered by request with a certain word or phrase, also to be determined.
