An Archtiect's first visit to Venice.

I'll never forget the feeling of stepping off the train at Venezia Santa Lucia and hopping onto a water taxi.   Its comparable to stepping directly from reality into a deep dream state.    There is something unspeakably captivating about an entire city built on water.  Canals tangle through streets forming beautiful intersections,  juxtapositions, and compositions.  There is no place quite like Venice in the world.   Venice is a living work of art.
