The Venice Project Center (VPC) was founded in 1988 by Fabio Carrera and has since made numerous significant contributions and achievements. It has involved over 450 students in 124 projects. The VPC has established itself as a world authority on Venetian public art, churches, belltowers, traffic and boat transportation in the canals. It has also made important contributions regarding the hydrodynamics and infrastructure of the Venice canals, as well as environmental issues like sewer outlets and sea level change. After 20 years, the VPC has had a lasting impact through its studies, publications, and innovations that have helped preserve and improve the city of Venice.
