AbstractDescriptionList Number$Number of Students&IQP Award PlacementServer: Report(Server: PresentationServer: Maps Server: DatabaseTOPICS COD Y$Number of Students  databases were created containing (1) General data on each museum including digitized images of the facades, (2) Technical museums data, (3) Survey results on six of the main museums, (4) Specific data about part of the Ca' Rezzonico Museum Collection including digitized color images of selected pieces. Finally, the museum data was geo-coded into an existing computer map of Venice, allowing the interactive browsing of the database and images.This report, prepared in collaboration with the Cento Previsioni e Segnalazioni Maree and the Istituto per lo Studio Dinamica Grandi Masse (ISDGM) of the Italian National Research Council, presents the results of a hygienic and dynamic study of the Cannaregio canal subsystem of Venice, Italy. The study analyzes the tide flow, mud buildup, boat traffic, and structural damage on five primary canals, fourteen secondary canals, and four major surrounding bodies of water.This project, sponsored by the Laboratorio Scientifico della Misericordia in Venice, Italy, represents a contribution to the understanding of the interrelation of weather conditions, air quality and acid precipitation with respect to the preservation of Venetian artwork both indoor and outdoors. Fog, rain. and snow were sampled with a special apparatus; weather data was collected by an automatic weather station; air quality data was obtained from existing monitoring networks; indoor conditions were transcribed from existing records. The information was organized in computer databases, manipulated with custom-programs, and graphed. Quick reference booklets were developed for future use.This project, undertaken at the Venice Project Center, provides a framework for comprehending the archaeological environment in the Venetian lagoon. This objective was accomplished by reviewing the state-of-the-art in the field, contacting local archaeological groups and participating in their efforts, and overviewing the archaeological superintendency of Venice. Project outcomes include technological alternatives and computer implementations for Venetian archaeologists, illustrative booklets on recent sites, maps and databases for archaeological applications, and suggestions for future projects involving lagoon archaeology. v1b N nturies, Venice has remained unaltered; the churches and buildings remain, and the endless maze of canals is still present. However, under the surface, there are slow and destructive changes: the penetration of humidity into the walls of historic buildings; the formation of a black, destructive crust on stone monuments; the warping, cracking, and molding of precious paintings in unregulated churches and art galleries. One of the primary culprits accountable for these transformations is air pollution, which in its most catastrophic form become mixed with water to form acid precipitation. The goal of this project was to correlate weather patterns with the precipitation events and pinpoint sources of primary pollutants present in the atmosphere of Venice in addition to continuing the quantification efforts of the first IQP on acid fog. Moreover, the project group began an investigation of the climate control in the museums and churches of Venice to discover how many pollutants are present in these indoor environments. The project conducted intensive investigations and research of precipitation pH and pollutant content levels. Three particular events were examined and compared: acid rain, acid fog, and acid snow. In addition, they worked in a laboratory and assisted in the research on the effects of the air pollution on various materials. Moreover, the unique weather patterns of Venice were researched providing historical insight on the level of pollutants currently existing in the air surrounding Venice. Finally, a study was conducted on the microclimates of chosen Venetian museums.

Although, the Venetian republic no longer stands, its legendary architecture and outdoor art still remain. However, these pieces face an uncertain future. With the increase in errostion and pollution over the past century, these works have begun to deteriorate rapidly and action must be taken to keep these magnificent works from disappearing into oblivion. This IQP was the third in as series of descriptive outdoor art inventories serving to promote public awareness of the decay of this unique outdoor museum. This project aimed to produce a current inventory of the outdoor art in the sestiere of San Marco and assess their conditions. The project refined the procedures and methods developed in prior IQPs in data collection, data storage, evaluation, and fund raising. The database developed contained three components. The first database contained artistic information: a general background of the piece containing info such as its location and age. The second database contained the physical condition and restoration cost estimates of each piece. The third database linked the first two and produced a slide show that the Archeoclub was able to present to the public showing the ongoing work of the inventory in the San Marco area. Regression formulas were further advanced and made more complex producing more accurate estimates of restoration costs. The location of each piece was recorded in a MapInfo layer and database information was linked so that at the click of a button, all information about a piece could be observed. Several suggestions were made to facilitate funding for repairs. Some of these included: the creation of a non-profit organization with the sole purpose of raising funds, the creation of books and postcards for sale to the public that supplied info about the pieces, and the initiation of an Adopt-A-Piece campaign similar to the Adopt-A-Highway in the US. In addition, they pD LVALT Geographic Information Systems have become popluar tools in the last few decades. The city of Venice finds two benefits of such systems. Scientists and urban researchers find such systems appealing as tools to help analyze information that pertains to specific geographical locations. Tourists benefit from such a system by being able to learn their way around a city. The goals of this project were; to contiue the development of a digitized map f Venice, enhancing where possible (A continuation of the Venetian Cartography IQP); to simplify and standardize data collection and entry; to simplify the procedure of booklet and data preparation; to standardize the database and its applications; and to further the development of the Venice GIS project.

It is vital that these pieces be restored before it is too late. This historical artwork gives Venice a special ambiance, one that is hard to describe, but missed if it was not there. Through the use of cutting edge technology, it is possible to solve the humanistic problems of saving centuries old artwork from its ultimate decay.NLVAL hThis Interactive Qualifying Project was an analysis of the UNESCO Lagoon Ecosystem Project carried out on the Venice Lagoon.

IThis Interactive Qualifying Project was an analysis of the UNESCO Lagoon Ecosystem Project carried out on the Venice Lagoon. It involved examining the data gathered by nine international research teams, and relating this data to the local ecosystem, specifically the Palude della Rosa. It also involved relating the data to the global self-regulating ecosystem, Gaia, as activity and results of the international teams. Finally, from the analysis, several recommendations on further research, future IQPs and MQP, and the general improvement of the Venice Lagoon were offered.Non-destructive analysis of works of art is the work of Mr. Paolo Spezzani of the Sorprintendenza ai Beni Artistici di Venezia. With the accumulation of thousands of computerized images of artwork, he required a powerful organizational tool. This project team devised a database management system (using Microsoft s FoxPro development software) to aid Mr. Spezzani in organizing and simplifying his valuable work. Also, a pamphlet was created to inform and educate the general public about Mr. Spezzani s art restoration work.This project, prepared in part for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, served to compile missing dat on the past thirteen IQPs in order to complete the documentation for traffic, mud, flow, sewer and damage on the canals of Venice, Italy. This study further organizes and standardizes all gathered data to clarify the methodology for future studies. In addition, the team set up a format for canal booklets, which present an accessible summation of canal data.Sponsored by the Forum per la Laguna di Venezia, this project analyzes the necessary means for starting a successful environmental NGO's. A summary of educational, lobbying, grassroots and fundraising activities for US environmental organizations are analyzed with emphasis on the Chesapeake Bay Foundation as a model. On the basis of this analysis layouts of a brochure, newsletter and fact sheet were created. Recommendations are made on programs, information distribution and fundraising methods.This Project , Completed at the Venice Project Center, was sponsored by the Architect Nicola Randolfi and concentrates on the churches of Venice. The project involved the creation of a computerized  church layer using the Geographical Information System, MapInfo, the collection three databases on 143 Venetian churches, and an in depth artistic and restoration survey of one Venetian church, San Pantaleone. This survey established an order of restoration prioriy for the art in the San Pantaleone.The third in a series of descriptive outdoor art inventories carried out in Venice, Italy, this project was sponsored by the Archeoclub of Venice in an effort to prevent further decay of the Venetian Cultural heritage, particularly in the sestieri of San Marco. This IQP uses computerized databases, mapping, and calculates formulas for this goal. The end product is a prioritized catalog of each piece ranked by it s relative restoration urgency. Finally, this project also generates ideas for improvements on future IQP s more specifically in terms of fund raising and evaluation methods.LVAL4p3  } G  N T  ` g ;  [4L&e.}W4 for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, served to compile missing dat on the past thirteen IQPs in order to complete the documentation for traffic, mud, flow, sewer and damage on theThis project, prepared in part for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, served to compile missing dat on the past thirteen IQPs in order to complete the documentatioCanals, UNESCO, Canals, UNESCO, Comune di VeneziaCanals, UNESCO, Comune di VeneziaPollution, Murano, Comune di VeneziaHidrodynamics, Sediments, Tide, FlowSubsoil, Venice, Ungerground, INSULAPollution, Sediments, Wall Damage,VPC, INSULA, UNESCOBridges, S.

Then, they linked a GIS map of Venice to the database. A church layer was designed to put over the map of Venice, however, the version of MapInfo available could not link this layer to the database. They also chose San Pantaleoni as an example for further analysis of specific pieces of art inside the church A complete restoration survey was developed for San Pantaleoni made up of a separate database for general information and restoration recommendations. Recommendations were also made for improved software packages and future projects.

This study summarizes and further continues the work of a canal summary project completed in the previous term (D93). The goal of this project was to make all information on the canals of Venice available and accessible for analysis through canal summarization and geocoding of the databases The team succeeded in meeting their goal. They collected an additional set of data to account for missing or incorrect information due to weather and time constraints. Then they entered all of the data into a database and linked it to MapInfo and Excel. Canal booklets were also designed and produced to present the vital statistics of each canal in Venice. Information that can be found in this IQP is as follows: -History of the canals -Updated methodology of collecting data -Compiled data from 13 IQP s in database format.There are a number of problems facing the future of Venice and environmental problems are among the foremost of these issues. This problem will only be resolved by the education of the public to make them more aware of these issues, and in turn allow the public to participate in the improvement of life in Venice. This project examines the means for creating and developing a successful environmental non-governmental organization (NGO) that will act to educate the citizens of Venice. The goals involved in doing this are: 1.) Organize and summarize information in three separate databases on American environmental non-profit organizations. 2.) Develop methods for information distribution for the Forum, including newsletters, brochures and fact sheets. 3.) Identify effective methods of organization empoyed by American environmental groups in activities such as educational programs, fundraising and networking. 4.) Using documents from the Rio Accords and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) assess the future role of NGO's in local implementation of Agenda 21. With these goals reached and information obtained, recommendations were made to the Forum on operations and sample brochures were created. This is a great help, and assures that the Forum can succeed in its efforts to educate the people in Venice about the problems faced in their own environment.

These images were created using x-ray or infrared reflectoscopy techniques. In the process of gathering these images, he was unable to organize them in a useful manner. Therefore, the main goal of this IQP was to create a database management application to aid Mr. Spezzani in his work. The database management system designed by the project group had the capability of viewing several images on the same screen. In addition, all of the data associated with each piece of art was organized in a convenient fashion. The system consisted of two databases that together formed an easily maintainable system. Also, the project group designed an informational pamphlet that introduced people to the art restoration work performed by Mr. Spezzani and his group of restorers and technicians. It discussed the importance of art restoration and the different non-destructive techniques used by the art restoration lab at San Gregorio.LVAL@UThis project sudied the data collected by the various organizations involved in the UNESCO Venice Lagoon Ecosystem Project. Nine research teams from the United Kingdom, France, and Italy came to Venice to study the health of the Lagoon. Their work focused upon the Palude della Rosa, a somewhat isolated section of the Lagoon, north of Venice. Many aspects of the Palude were studied, including levels of pollutants, species abundance of organisms, and various hydrological parameters, such as tides, salinity, water temperature, pH, etc. The main goal of the UNESCO project, which took place from Fall 1991 to Summer 1993, was to gain a better understanding of the Venice Lagoon ecosystem. Four main objectives were focused upon in this project. The first and second were to relate the data collected by the UNESCO research groups to global and local ecosystems. The third objective was to create an informational pamphlet which the general public could understand, outlining the actions of the various UNESCO research groups and the general conclusions on the condition of the Lagoon arising from their work. The final objective was to suggest further research topics concerning possible future studies of the Venice Lagoon. It was concluded that the theory of Gaia, a self-regulating system which will always evolve to benefit itself, is plausable. Also, the importance of conveying these results to the public was discussed, stating that their knowledge can help them to make decisions that have a serious impact on the environment. Information contained in this project includes characteristics of a macroalgae, (Ulva rigida), activity of Lagoon sediment, diatom blooms, and other various organisms important to the ecosystem of the Lagoon. The data collected was compared to that of other UNESCO groups to come up with the general conclusions, and were then conveyed in a well organized pamphlet.LVAL@U(In 1994, the commune di Venezia was planning on beginning a canal maintenance program which would involve the closing of some of the canals on the insula of Santa Maria Zobenigo. When the canals are closed, docks along these canals would be unavailable for use. The documentation of the usage of public docks will facilitate the determination of alternate docking sites once particular canals are closed. In addition, it would be possible to determine which businesses are most affected by these closings through this study. The main purpose of this IQP was to provide the capability of predicting possible chaotic situations, such as the clogging of main canal arteries, inaccessibility of businesses in the insula for deliveries, and overcrowding of docks. Possible solutions to related socio-economic issues on the island are also presented for consideration by the ciy of Venice. The project group created a dock and cargo data collection form to record cargo and boat type information, and preoceeded to catalog all docks in the insula. They then monitored selected docks for delivery patterns in addition to asking delivery people where the final destination of all merchandise unloaded on the dock to determine the businesses that would be affected by the canal closings. Traffic forms were developed to track traffic flow through the canals and later presented in maps showing the traffic activity of the entire insula. Case scenarios were presented for the closings of each canal and graphs of total dock usage for the insula were created. Detailed recommendations were made for the city from the data collected, which should be taken into account when closing the canals. They discussed which canals were not being used to full potential, the possibility of adding docks and parking spaces along various canals, and time limits for unloading cargo. Comments were also made about traffic regulations and their compliance by owners of private boats. Such disobedience causes confusion and makes the cLVALVenice has such a unique, incredible and glorious history that the ultimate goal of the archeologists of Venice is to discover and preserve this history. It was the intention of this IQP to aid the archeologists in this endeavor, primarily by introducing them to new methods of finding and cataloging historic sites and artifacts. This project group performed several preliminary surveys of various underwater sights. By confirming or disproving the archeological significance of each sight, they assisted local archeologists in their work.

Furthermore, the overall status of their homebase, the Lazzaretto Nuovo, was evaluated contributing to the improvement of its appearance. Finally, by helping in the running of the archeological youth camp situated on the island, they helped to raise the consciousness of young Italians to the importance of their historical heritage and the necessity to preserve it. The use of computers proved to be a powerful tool in assisting the archeological process. The project group made strong recommendations for further work with the Archeoclub on the Lazzaretto Nuovo as well as with theianals more perilous for all.LVAL " )he Venetian Republic began as a cluster of small islands and rose to a world power.

Second, the group searched for, and found, IQP sponsors, IQP topics, and background information in the governmental, environmental, and scientific fields. The resulting report contains both background information and a logistical guide for future students going to Venice along with many pertinent recommendations to ensure the success of the program.An Outdoor Art Inventory of the Sestiere di Castello is the fourth project in a series to catalogued the erratic external art in Venice, and whose primary goal is to aid in the conservation of the Venetian art heritage. This IQP uses databases to create a computerized catalog and to forge a list of the state of conservation of the pieces, the estimated cost of restoration and, ultimately, create a prioritized list of the art in the Setiere di Castello. Finally this project suggests improvements that can be made on the rest of the projects in the series.Completed at the Venice Project Center, this project main accomplishment was the development of a method to assess Venetian bells and bell towers. The project involved the creation of two data bases on bells and bell towers, and the creation of computerized layer, using MapInfo, to locate ten bell towers that were evaluated externally. A system was also developed to give a restoration priority to the two towers, Campanili of San Pantaleone and San Nicolo dei Mendicoli, that were studied in depth.Working as official partners of UNESCO, this project homogenizes and integrates all existing data on sewer holes and structural damage to the canal walls in the Sestiere Castello di Venezia. A comprehensive report about the insula Santa Maria Formosa was created using photodocumentation and innovtive software. All the information collected can be accessed for use in the city s restoration program. A maintenance program was developed in an attempt to avoid the reoccurence of the critical conditions in the Sestiere di Castello. New hyppotheses on the causes of sediment build up and sewage outlet blockage are also explored in this study.This Interactive Qualifying Project Report, submitted to the faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, describes in detail, a boat parking study on the Venetian canals. This study, sponsored by UNESCO, consisted of collecting and analyzing field data on public and overnight parking within the Insula Santa Maria Zobenigo. Through the use of an organized database and a mapping software program, boat parking can be analyzed and constantly updated for maintenance programs by the Comune Di Venezia, and for future IQP groups.The objective of this project is to document and analyze the usage of docks, cargo deliveries, and boat traffic in the insula of Santa Maria Zobenigo, in order to aid the City of Venice in preparing for the closings of the canals in this area during reconstruction. The closings of the canals has to be done in a way that will minimize the disturbance of the lives of the people in the area. This report provides the City of Venice and future IQP groups important data and analysis on docks, cargo and traffic, as well as useful methods on how to conduct similar studies.LVAL@U+In 1994, Commune di Venezia was planning on beginning anal maintenance programs on the insula Santa Maria Zobenigo. However, up until the time of this IQP, there had never before been an in depth study of the parking on the Venetian islands. In fact, no records were kept of parking spaces within the canals of this island. This lack of record keeping led to parking confusion as well as safety issues, such as insecured poles and rings as a result of deterioration. The city needed a descriptive parking regulations document in addition to information and data relating to each parking space on the island. The most effective way to manage this data once collected is through computerized methods. The main objective of this IQP was to create a Geographical Information System (GIS) model database for collecting public and overnight parking data. The second objective was to analyze possible parking alternatives for periods of time that the canals wll be closed for maintenance programs. For decades, the canals have succesfully served two main purposes: to serve as a transportation system and to serve as a sewer system. Stemming from the transportation system is the necessity of a boat parking program. The reason for creating a boat parking database was to locate the closest parking spaces in the surrounding canals so that boats displaced by the closure can be relocated. This information will decrease the amount of confusion when boats are needed to be relocated. The necessity of a strong parking program in Venice was obvious in light of the canal maintenance program that was soon to begin. The project was conducted with four main subjects: public docks, private docks, public parking spaces, and overnight spaces. Condition of poles and rings were also addressed in the study. The obtained data was entered into MapInfo and Access which proved useful when relocating boats to other parking spaces while canals were closed for maintenance.

It involved examining the data gathered by nine international research teams, and relating this data to the local ecosystem, specifically the Palude della Rosa. It also involved relating the data to the global self-regulating ecosystem, Gaia, as activity and results of the international teams. Finally, from the analysis, several recommendations on further research, future IQPs and MQP, and the general improvement of the Venice Lagoon were offered.Non-destructive analysis of works of art is the work of Mr. Paolo Spezzani of the Sorprintendenza ai Beni Artistici di Venezia. With the accumulation of thousands of computerized images of artwork, he required a powerful organizational tool. This project team devised a database management system (using Microsoft s FoxPro development software) to aid Mr. Spezzani in organizing and simplifying his valuable work. Also, a pamphlet was created to inform and educate the general public about Mr. Spezzani s art restoration work.The third in a series of descriptive outdoor art inventories carried out in Venice, Italy, this project was sponsored by the Archeoclub of Venice in an effort to prevent further decay of the Venetian Cultural heritage, particularly in the sestieri of San Marco. This IQP uses computerized databases, mappine for the parking spaces on the island, and made recommendations for solutions to parking issues that would arise once canal maintenance began.&LVAL 8Thirteen canaThe city of Venice is centuries old, and so are most of the outdoor art pieces found within the islands.

Once this prioritzed list was made, suggestions for implementation were made. Price lists of repairing damaged art were created, and cost breakdowns were added. Also, many suggestions for aiding future projects in the field were given, being made from the troubles and drawbacks encountered in this project. With this list, the city of Venice can begin to chip away at the many deteriorating art pieces, making Venice even more beautiful than it is today, perhaps bringing it to its original beauty. Information contained in this project includes the cataloguing of 510 external art pieces, with pictures and documentation, restoration costs, states of conservation, and finally price restoration prioritization.The canals of Venice have been in dire need of attention in recent years to severe neglect. It was discovered in prior student projects that the sestiere of Castello contained four of the eight emergency restoration locations of Venetian canals. In 1994, the time was ripe to inform the public of the information found in the student projects. The main goal of this project was to create booklets containing all the information pertaining to the sewage outlets, structural damage and impact damage to the canals walls of the island of S.M. Formosa. In addition, they aimed to develop maintenance strategies through research of the canals in Castello to prevent the critical condition from occurring again. Finally, they implemented a study on the growth of sewage holes to discover the exact causes of structural damage. The project group produced canal booklets with detailed information on the canals in above-mentioned areas. They also verified, corrected, and added to the canals database. Finally, they developed a detailed plan for canal maintenance and hypothesized on the effects and results of the implementation of this plan. Recommendations were made to the city that addressed how to best utilize the brochures and methods discussed in their IQP.LVAL@U.Venice is unique not only for its famous canals and gondolas, but also for its role in the evolution of art. Among the most visible forms of artistic expression is the incredible architecture found in its churches and bell towers. These structures have been subjected to constant deterioration due to several factors including acid rain/fog, exposure to the elements and neglect. In recent years, the city of Venice has begun to take action to reverse this process. However, while massive restoration efforts have begun in many of the churches, the Venetian bell towers remain neglected because, besides limited resources, most towers are closed to the public so there is not an urgent need to keep them in good condition. The purpose of this IQP was to contribute to the rescue of all Venetian bell towers by creating a foundation for collecting data and for determining the urgency of restoring each bell tower. To accomplish this, the project group determined what information was important and feasible to collect about the bells and towers and developed a method for collecting this information. A form was created (found in Appendix A) which served as a template for future data collection. Although fifty towers were photographed and documented, only ten were chosen for data collection using this new form. Two towers in particular, San Pantaleone and San Nicolodei Mendicoli, were studied in depth. For these two towers, data was collected for the inside in addition to the data gathered externally. The information collected was then entered into two databases, one for the bells and the other for the tower structure. This data was linked to a MapInfo layer and designed for easy maintenance (adding additional data). In addition, a system of prioritization was developed based on the detailed data collected from the two towers mentioned above. The project group intended that the methods for data collection and database management would be further developed in future projects.

This project had two main goals: the first was to explore the logistical feasibility of establishing a project center in the city of Venice, and the second was to determine if the Venetian community would be interested in having American students work on some of the city s more pressing problems. These students monitored their own performance and ability to adapt and work in a totally different culture and evaluated their experience in order to conclude whether a Venice IQP Project program was feasible. They documented all of the logistics of life in Venice for future students such as things to do before leaving the US, shopping for food and other necessities, communications, Italian money, and entertainment. While gathering logistical data, the students searched the Venetian community for urban, environmental and scientific/industrial organizations that would have a need for, or an interest in, WPI student projects. Once found, these potential sponsors were approached by the team with proposed topic outlines. These outlines were examined by the prospective sponsors and returned to the team with suggestions for improvements. At the end of the project, final proposals were made which led to the sponsoring of some of the future projects. In addition, they provided a great deal of information on Italy and the Veneto including history and geographical information. Information on the Government, environment, and special issues of Venice was also provided. Finally, a brief analysis of the state of technology in Venice was presented. Recommendations were made to WPI to implement a student project center in Venice. The pros and cons were outlines so that further improvements could be made to the proposal. Suggestions were also made to future Venice Project Program participants on how to best prepare for their Venice project experience. Suggestions were also made for LVAL ?This IQP is concerned with the preservation and restoration of decorative keystone heads in Venice, Italy. The first computerized keystone catalog was created.

The first computerized keystone catalog was created. It included the keystones on public bridges in all of Venice and the keystones on the doors and windows of Sestiere de Cannaregio. Computerized databases, mapping, and scientifically derived formulae were used to calculate the restoration priority of the keystones and to estimate the restoration cost. The project concluded with suggestions and recommendations to the future IQP groups.This project, completed at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Venice Project Center, presents an in depth evaluation of the sewage system and water quality in the canals of Venice, Italy. Through a series of on site field testing campaigns using a variety of techniques and instruments, extensive data was collected on the Venetian sewage system and canal water quality. This data was analyzed statistically to identify the determinants of the quality of water in the canals of Venice and the impact of water quality of the Venetian sewage system. Recommendations were made for improving water quality and establishing a future Citizens Water Quality Monitoring Program in this great historical city.In this project a computerized catalog was created of all outdoor art pieces in the sestiere di Dorsoduro in Venice with accompanying photographs and conservation ratings. Each piece's condition and importance was assesed and its cost of restoration estimated. Using a procedure reported in the psychology literature, weights were determined for each conservation and imprtance factor and used to calculate a "resoration benefit" for each piece. This benefit was devided by the restoration cost to determine each piece's priority for repair. All this information was entered into the catalogue and should contirbute to the eventual restoration of the pieces of outdoor art that would benefit the most form repair.This project provides the city of Venice with an in depth study of the present traffic flows, delivery patterns and docking facilities of the canals surounding the islands of Santa Maria Formosa and Frari. It forcasts the impact on traffic, deliveries and docking, of the closure of segments of these canal systems. Data was gathered, analyzed, and methods developed, to provide alternative traffic and delivery routes during the canal's closures.This project, conducted in conjunction with the Venice Project Center of WPI, presents the results of our extensive evaluations of the state of deterioration of the public well-heads of the Venetian sestiere of Dorsoduro. In addition, we created an algorithm which analyzes raw data recorded during field work and determines the benefit to the community from the restoration of each well-head. We rated well-heads of Dorsoduro in terms of benefit from restoring them and determined their priority for restoration. We evaluated the plausibility of converting the cisterns of the wells into a reservoir for fire fighting measures. Also, as the first project concerned solely with the well-heads of Venice, we established a methodology, a comprehensive rating scheme, and a thorough process for the analysis offuture IQP topics and sponsors.

The purpose of this project was to investigate the future of science and technology in Venice. To obtain a full perspective with which to make predictions, it was necessary to divide the project into sections: the past, present, and future. They found very little information on the history of technology in Venice. Their project focused mainly on the present; they researched organizations in Venice that were determined to help Venice regain its status as a technological leader. Through this research, it was possible to gather enough historical background to develop a basic idea of the history of technology in Venice. In addition, they examined the present technology in Venice and discovered a small scientific community willing and determined to catch up with the times. Finally, they projected where the future of Venetian technology. They hypothesized that the greatest possibilities lie in the use of modern technology for the restoration of the city. The project makes recommendations on how to expedite the progress of Venice technology and states some of the limitations present. The final objective of the project was to serve as a multi-bootstrap project recommending several feasible investigations for future IQPs as well as providing information to enhance the newly begun Venice Project Program.LVAL' Z4enice has a rich and glorious history.

By utilizing the French M.E.R. system and other measures. The project concludes with a priority list and provides a prototype for a full investigation of the restoration needs of all of Venice's churches.This project, prepared in conjunction with the SERENdpt Foundation, is a study on the possibly relocation of the University of Venice to some of the abandoned islands of the Venetian Lagoon. An assessment of the current situation was made through an extensive on-site gathering of information on the islands and the University system in Italy and specifically in Venice. Several rational alternatives for the future location of the University are furnished, which concurrently provide solutions to the problems that face the University, while at the same time, once again establishing the islands as useful components of the city of Venice.This project, developed to assist the Associazione Artigiani di Venezia in discovering feasible solutions to the pollution problems in Murano, examines the artisans' predicament and describes various pollution abatement options. Personal interviews with the artisans, along with other materials allow for a thorough examination of the available technologies and establishment of their practicality and use in Murano. This project assesses the pollution problems found in many of the shops, and suggests possible treatment procedures for these problems.This Report, Prepared for the Instituto Studio Dinamica Grande Masse (ISDGM) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), analyzes, through a new methodology linking simple measurement techniques and computer applications, the static and dynamic properties for the Venetian canal network. The project suggests a way to get an accurate low cost picture of the sediments in the entire canal network, the first step in the difficult process of restoring Venice s infrastructure to proper function.This project was undertaken at the Laboratorio Scientifico della Misericordia in Venice, Italy, developed a procedure and preliminary results for the first-ever formal collection and quantification acid fog and rain in the city. Fog and rain samples were collected in a specially devised receptor and then entered into a project-designed database. In addition to the development of the procedure, the project generated a brochure in the Laboratorio and made recommendations on receptor modifications, collection cites, and collection sequences.This project is a study of the future possibilities for Venice, Italy, in the fields of science and technology. Using interviews and observations of Venice in its present state, it was possible to document the current status of the city and define its needs for future development. The conclusions obtained were that Venice cannot realistically support manufacturing development but it could be an ideal model for development of alternative technology of global impact.LVAL@UX / 5In recent years, it has become the goal of several private organizations to take action toward the preservation of the history of the Venetian lagoon while at the same time protecting the delicate ecology of the region. In addition, it has been desired to find solutions for such problems as pollution of the waters and disuse of many of the islands in the lagoon. The island of Lazzaretto Nuovo is rich in beauty and has great historical significance. Many Venetians are unaware of the island s existence or historical significance. Although the Ekos Club that now maintains the island has made many efforts to restore the island, it is their desire to investigate alternatives for the reutilization of the island that will not compromise the historical or environmental aspects of the island. In other words, they intend on attracting people who can appreciate the incredible island without creating harm to its fragile ecosystem and ancient strcutures. The goal of this projecdt was to study the state of the island (Lazzaretto) and evaluate the strengths and limitations of all parts of the island. In addition, they aimed to present to the Ekos Club a proposal with the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative for re-use. Their proposal included detailed maps of the island divided into homogeneous regions, indicating both flora types and man-made structures, the conditions of each and detailed descriptions of possible uses for each region. The environmental impact is included in their study as well as an investigation into the transportation problem between the island and others in the lagoon. From this analysis of the island, a tentative schedule of events is proposed and possible means of financial support are suggested. The information provided in this proposal was intended for use in an additional brochure of the island including maps, pictures, history, and a schedule of future events. The report concluded that there are several feasible options for re-utilizing the isl@LVALP  A ComputeriComputerized Catalog oComputerized Catalog of External Art in VeniceComputerized Catalog of Antennas on BelltowersComputerized Catalog of Palazzo Ducale's ArmoryA Computerized Catalog of Outdoor Art in Dorsoduro, Venice (E95); A Computerized Catalog of Well-Heads of Venice on the Sestiere of Dorsoduro (E95); A Computerized Catalog of Venetian Bells and Belltowers (E95)A Doc + Anal of Boat Traffic in the Venetian Canals (92); Doc and Anal of Traffic, Cargo, Del + Docks Within the Insulae of SM Formosa + Frari (95).Analysis of Structural Damage to Canal Walls of Sestiere Castello (92); A Documentation and Analysis of Boat Traffic in Venetian Canals (D, E 92); Analysis of Venetian Canals (93); Analysis of Structural Damag to Canal Walls of Venice, Italy (93); Automatic Data Acquisition System for the Canals of Venice (95); Canal Boat Parking (96)Analysis of Structural Damage to the Canal Walls of he Sestiere Castello di Venezia (E92); A Study of Water Quality in the Santa Maria Formosa Insula; COSES IQP (E96)A Documentation and Analysis of the Traffic, Cargo Deliveries, and Docks within the Insula of Santa Maria Formosa and Frari (E 95)Re-Utilization of the Island of the Lazzaretto Nuovo; Organic Farming and.

Suggestions are made for the relocation under the following considerations: 1.) Accessability by students from class to class 2.) Physical space of location 3.) Transportation to the new locations 4.) Cost of relocation The fact that relocation is needed is discussed and proven many times in the body of the text. All that remains is the initiative for it to materialize. As time goes by, the buildings of the University and of the Islands become older, and the number of students becomes larger. The information organized in this project should be of major assistance, and should act as a reference point for any future proposal to relocate the University of Venice. It includes locations and data on existing buildings, references to US schools and operations, boat schedules and stop locations, and various other useful information with regards to relocation the University.Venice is said to have 16% of the world's artistic treasures. The problem this project addresses is the decay and deterioration of the treasures due to acid fog and acid rain. Its goals are to study the chemisty of fogwater, and analyze the effects of acid fog on stone structures. Throught the course of this project the project team found a number of items which could be improved upon in future follow-up projects. They are: 1.) Samples should be analyzed or frozen immediately upon collection to ensure accurate results. 2.) A data logger should be employed in the collection procedure to obtain more useful information. 3.) The use of multiple collectors should be considered for future projects to further improve the quality of the data. 4.) Modifications to the existing collector are recommended to improve collector efficiencey. This project succeeded in working through and refining the procedures involved with the study and it laid an excellent foundation for many productive follow-up projects in the future. Inforamation contained in this project includes data on fog analysis, wind charts, and restoration techniques for the stone structures of Venice.LVAL@U8The Community of Venice has faced several problems in the recent years relating to its canals. The once effective system of sewage disposal and transportation medium is no long functioning as efficiently as the city demands because of recent neglect. The purpose of this research project was to prove the complexity of inter-canal behavior and scientifically establish the detrimental effects of the organic sediment deposits on the overall flow capacity, hopefully bringing about a heightened awareness of the state of the network. Because the canals have suffered neglect, the depth has decreased making it less suitable for boat traffic in addition to decreasing the flux of the water; the less flux of water, the less effective the flushing system of the canals will be. In essence, if the canals are continually ignored, it will no longer be possible for the system to flush out waste flushed into the canals. Consequently, this project determined the characteristics of flows within the network and related a flow response to the accumulation of sediment. The group chose four independent canals for their study in the sestiere of Dorsoduro. It was then intended that their conclusions would model the rest of the network relatively accurately and that their conclusion could be applied throughout the whole system. The project established a methodology for the collection, presentation, and archival of the data related to the static and dynamic properties of the canals. It was discovered that such elements such as tide heights, flow velocities, and excursion between high and low tides were greater during half-moon. In addition, the wind affected the surface velocity of the water and when strong, even reversed the flow of the canal. Their main realization, however, was that the actual tide entering the lagoon was not directly responsible for the flow in the canals. Tide height in the Grand Canal increased more rapidly than the tide height in the Guidecca due to the Grand Canal's sm LVAL _ This study, sponsored by the Palazzo Ducale, is a cooperative effort between the WPI project group and the Palazzo Ducale, a Civic Museum of Venice.

These efforts include the development of cataloging and labeling systems for all of the museum exhibits and the development of improved communications between the museum management and the public through a web page and a visitor survey. Based on the analysis of the data gathered, we offered suggestions for the implementation of these developed programsThis project, in collaboration with the Ctiy of Venice, Department of Public Works, developed a computer catalog of Venice's flagstaff pedestals. This catalog encompasses the locations, dimensions, state of conservation, subjective cultural values, and pertinent digital photographs of each pedestal. Through regression analysis, a prioritized list for the restoration of the pedestals was was established. The project concludes with recommendations made for maintaining and re-introducing flagstaff pedestals into Venetian society as they were originally intended, to fly the flags of Venice.This project provided the Comune di Venezia with a preliminary decision support system (DSS) for planning canal maintenance. The project first regularized previously collected data and established fields and processes for further collections of canal characteristics (dimensions, traffic flows, hydrodynamics, hygiene) as well as docks, bridges, and parking spaces. Then the project created a menu driven DSS providing access to all the data for decision makers. The project concluded with recommendations to the technical team that will implement the actual DSS.This Interactive Qualifying Project prepared for the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization provides a proposal to optimize the cargo boat delivery system in Venice to decrease the traffic congestion and reduce the wakes that destroy the canal walls, using San Marco sesitiere as the prototype. An analysialler size. Water then flows down the hill from the Grand Canal to the Guidecca through the Dorsoduro canals. This shows that the tide flows in each canal are not the product of simple factors, but rather the results of a very complex scenario. It became clear that with the continued buildup of sediment reducing flux in the canals, the sewage system in Venice would soon become inadequate. Proper maintenance is needed to restore the canals to their full working capacity keeping the city sanitary and dignified.LVAL@Uƛ:All over the world, environmental awareness and preservation is on the rise. Italy faces many environmental problems especially in regard to the artesian related traits. This Interactive Qualifying Project was done for the artisans of Venice on the request of the Associazione Artigiani di Venezia whose sole purpose is to aid its members in any artisan- related problems. The overall goal of the WPI/Associazione Artigiani collaboration is to identify, analyze and possibly solve the pollution problems of all the artisan shops in Venice. The island of Murano was chosen as a test site for this project due to its manageable size, importance and high concentration of representative types of shops. Murano, an island to the north of the city of Venice, approximately two square kilometers in area, contains most of the industry in the Venetian lagoon and, as a result, contains the bulk of the pollution problems associated with the Venetian island system. Many of the problems associated with Venice (and Murano) stem from the fact that it is a densely populated city that encompass an entire region of islands which makes it close to impossible to find available space for waste treatment areas, such as treatment centers and even landfills. Venice is beginning to have serious problems with the disposal of solid waste materials because its landfill is rapidly reaching maximum capacity and there is very little space to create a new one. After having analyzed the data accurately, the project team realized that most of the important data was approximate, therefore being an inaccurate source of information. Although the questionnaire was misleading in providing quantity data on materials being used in the production process, it was a good means of exposing the problems that these glassmakers have in common. Among other information obtained the project team was able to understand the danger of working in such an environment. The workers are not only constantly exposed to toxic air emissionsxLVALBoats are needed for trade and transportation and causes much traffic congestion. Due to physical restrictions, such as bridge height and canal depth and width, many canals cannot be use by larger boats. Parking spaces and deliveries at docks also take up space and prevent the passage of other boats. As a result, larger canals experience more traffic and wakes are created that slowly deteriorate the canals walls and building foundations. The goal of this project was to optimize the traffic flow of cargo boats through the canals in an effort to decrease the traffic congestion and subsequent environmental damage within the canals. They achieved this goal by organizing the existing data that had been collected in similar pr, and dangerous noise levels, but are also exposed to the high temperatures that radiate from the furnaces directly into the working environment. Unfortunately direct readings of the temperatures found in each of these shops was not performed, but it is obvious that if the furnace is kept constantly open, it will radiate large amounts of energy that will get dispersed in the working environment. To the problems presented above there is a follow up in the suggestion section of the report, which presents different ideas that could be used to help these artisans get rid of some of the problems that they are experiencing. Relocation of a centralized melting facility, reduction of raw materials used, substitution of the present raw materials with other less dangerous chemicals, redesigning the furnaces, applying more efficient pollution control techniques, and many others are just some of the suggestions that can be found in more detail.

They designed a cooperative system of organic farming that could be used to reduce water pollution and maintain their production levels. Some benefits of implementation might be a general decrease in expenditures for bulk purchases and lower transportation costs if boats were bought and shared. There were a few problems that could hinder this process such as lack of cooperation between farmers, problems with accepting change, current illegal situations, and the average age of the work force. It was concluded that, generally, the systems used on the island produced minimal negative effects when compared to farming on the mainland, however, San Erasmo could serve as an example for other areas.

The project recommended to SERENdpt a five year plan of events, funding, future projects and expansion options.Through the use of the fundamentals of solar design, and information garnered from Venice, this project examined many possible applications of Solar Photovoltaic Power in Venice, Italy to determine their feasibility. It is the opinion of this project group that solar power is a viable energy alternative to the present methods in certain applications, and the viability of solar power will increase with the depletion of the earth's resources, and the pollution of its environments.This project, undertaken at the Venice Project Center, in association with the World Wildlife Fund-Venezia, studies Valle Averto as a prototype for the proposed Venetian Lagoon park. The project includes a U.S. Wetland information review, and Italian Environmental Laws compilation, a visitor-management plan for Valle Averto, documentation of the Lagoon s casoni (old fishing lodges) as possible recreation sites, and computer applications for the park. Recommendations to WWF Valle Averto and suggestions for the Lagoon Park Proposal conclude the project.This project, undertaken at the Venice Project Center, reviews aspects of the introduction of computers to humanities studies with a particular application for the University of Venice. The project researched international computer usage in areas of archaeology, history, music, and language. Practical application was accomplished through organizing the facilities of the humanities lab at the University. Project results include extensive computer applications within the lab, a guide to the lab, recommendations concerning an exchange program, and suggestions for future projects.This project, undertaken at the Venice Project Center, establishes a basis for the introduction of organic farming into the Veneto region, using the island of St. Erasmo as a first case study, The project presents background on organic farming in general and on the agriculture of the Veneto region. Through interviews, aided by liaisons, the project establishes a history, and present social and economic profile of St. Erasmo and its agrarian sector. The project concludes by introducing a path toward switching to organic agriculture on the island.LVAL@Uz ?The University of Venice did not use computers in many of their humanities courses because they seemed to think that they were more of an inconvenience than a benefit. They were also not aware o the amount of computer technology that was available for these courses. The goals of this project were to: 1. Organize and document the Lab of Humanistic Informatics of the University of Venice. 2. Investigate and expose the many different applications computers could be used for in the humanities and inform the faculty and staff of these available resources in order to increase computer usage and close the gap between the students and computers. 3. To establish an exchange program between WPI and the University of Venice. To achieve their goal, they first documented the existing lab through databases, slide shows and booklets. Next, they documented, organized, and expanded the hard/software resources in the lab. They also designed menu driven screens to facilitate the access to the software. They also provided a compilation of references to texts, articles, and applications related to the topic to facilitate the research of future students. The feasibility of an exchange between WPI project students and those at the University of Venice was also looked into. The team recommended that the lab make use of the new database and the hard/software installed.

The powering of a small boat similThe production of thermoelectricity involves burning increasingly rare fossil fuels, and produces a large amount of pollution. Thermoelectric production is also highly inefficient. The purpose of this project was to analyze and determine the feasibility of several solar power projects in the Lagoon of Venice. They are: 1.) The powering of the new electric boat designed by the Venetian public transportation authority. 2.) The powering of Venice through the application of rooftiles with implanted solar cells. 3.) The powering of the illumination of the many canals of Venice. 4.) The powering remote islands through individual solar units or with a solar power plant. 5.) The powering of a small boat similar to the many boats in use in Venice 6.) The observation of a solar boat race in Venice. 7.) The powering of an experimental proccess being conducted by Engineer Fabio Carrera, called "accretion." This report proposed solar power implentations for all of these projects, and showed how to overcome some of the obstacles that would be faced. It contains information on price comparisons between solar vs. gas, including initial cost of materials, diagrams of placements of solar tiles or ribbons, and power charts for solar outputs vs. gas. This project could greatly overcome the problems of energy consumption and pollution, and helped provide a basis on which future projects can follow in the field of photovoltaics.LVAL@UBCThe SERENdpt Association (SERENissima Development and Preservation through Technology) is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to the development and preservation of Venice through modern, innovative, and non-polluting technologies. The organization was founded in 1988, and in 1990 sought the help of WPI s students to assist in the development of a five year plan to chart their progress. The main goal of this project was to structure the internal organization of the SERENdpt Association including: -Creating a membership plan -Creating various databases of SERENdpt related information -Designing a newsletter for members -Planning events -Exploring possible sources of funding Another goal, which was not directly related to SERENdpt, was to organize the VPC by putting together a logistics compilation, student related database, and helpful booklets) The end result of this project was a five-year plan for the SERENdpt Association that met all of their goals. More specifically, the Association now has a library of information about the various artistic and architectural works in Venice, including street alters and churches. The five-year plan also contains a basic outline of a newsletter. A schedule of events was recommended for SERENdpt to (co)sponsor, that could be funded thorough outside sources, to show the benefits of technology and make people aware of the overall purpose of the association. Also, databases were created to organize the information that would be needed to implement the proposed plan. The project s second goal for the VPC was also reached. A database was produced, helpful forms and booklets were designed, and the VPC was recommended to become a site for any student to complete projects that would benefit themselves as well as the city of Venice.

Sewer holes will This project addresses three of the major problems facing Venice today: deteriorating hygenic quality of its canals, increasing canal utilization difficulties for boats, and decay of the structures along the canals. It consists of two major sub-studies; one of which examines the canal flows in detail and the other of which focuses on the mud buildup in the canals. Suggestions were made to dredge the canals on a more frequent level, reducing the levels of mud buildup. Sewer holes will be freed to flow, and boats will have an easier time navigating the smaller canals. Also, tide flows will increase throughout the canals, allowing the natural dispersement of sewage into the ecosystem. Without dredging, the canal mud is forced to build up, and create even more problems than originally anticipated. The inforamtion contained in this project includes mud levels of the canals, tide vharts, tide flows, and traffic patterns of boats throught the Cannaregio sestiere of Venice.Archeology is a field that benefits greatly from the use of computers and technology. The work of Archeology is important for preserving heritage and learning about ancient history. The islands of the Venetian Lagoon are a gold mine of ancient treasures. However, until 1990, there was no complete documentation of artifacts and very little technology was used to store what documentation existed. The archeological community was in need of a more effective system to display the artifacts they uncovered. The goal of this project was to study the architectural environment in the Venetian Lagoon and present technological alternatives that would improve the various aspects of the local archeologist s work. In addition, they aimed to serve as the foundation for future projects. This project developed an extensive background on the Lagoon and archeological studies in the Lagoon. They did exhaustive research to bring to light the methods employed in the archeological studies of the lagoon. They documented each excavation site in the lagoon and created a database that stored the details of each site including some of the artifacts found at that sight. They also created a booklet on Lagoon Archeology, which was for distribution to the public and designed to inform them of the importance and developments of such work. Finally, they supplied a detailed and complete analysis on how modern technology can be applied in archeological studies. This project was considered the best IQP completed in 1990 and won the Presidential IQP Award for that year.sLVAL This project, completed at the Venice Project Center, utilized computer technology for various Venetian archaeological entities: the group Equipe Veneziana di Ricerca (EVR) and Ernesto Canal of the Soprintendenza ai Beni Archaeologici. DBase was used to catalogue pottery pieces, AutoCAThis project, completed at the Venice Project Center, utilized computer technology for various Venetian archaeological entities: the group Equipe Veneziana di Ricerca (EVR) and Ernesto Canal of the Soprintendenza ai Beni Archaeologici. DBase was used to catalogue pottery pieces, AutoCAD was used to make three-dimensional maps, and BRAINMAKER was used to create a neural network to identify pottery pieces. EVR is actively continuing the database, and Mr. Canal plans to utilize the three-dimensional maps and neural network in his ongoing research in the Venetian lagoons.This project completed at the Venice Project Center in association with the Venetian Cultural Group, Archeoclub, created a computerized inventory of external art in the Cannaregio region of Venice using databases. Pictures were then taken of each piece for analysis and with a formula their state of conservation was determined. A more precise definition of external art was also devised. Finally, queries were made on the databases yielding the costs, placement, and other useful information relevant to the arts' restoration.This project presents an analysis of twenty-one Venetian museums. Four databases were created containing (1) General data on each museum including digitized images of the facades, (2) Technical museums data, (3) Survey results on six of the main museums, (4) Specific data about part of the Ca' Rezzonico Museum Collection including digitized color images of selected pieces. Finally, the museum data was geo-coded into an existing computer map of Venice, allowing the interactive browsing of the database and images.This report, prepared in collaboration with the Cento Previsioni e Segnalazioni Maree and the Istituto per lo Studio Dinamica Grandi Masse (ISDGM) of the Italian National Research Council, presents the results of a hygienic and dynamic study of the Cannaregio canal subsystem of Venice, Italy. The study analyzes the tide flow, mud buildup, boat traffic, and structural damage on five primary canals, fourteen secondary canals, and four major surrounding bodies of water.This project, sponsored by the Laboratorio Scientifico della Misericordia in Venice, Italy, represents a contribution to the understanding of the interrelation of weather conditions, air quality and acid precipitation with respect to the preservation of Venetian artwork both indoor and outdoors. Fog, rain. and snow were sampled with a special apparatus; weather data was collected by an automatic weather station; air quality data was obtained from existing monitoring networks; indoor conditions were transcribed from existing records. The information was organized in computer databases, manipulated with custom-programs, and graphed. Quick reference booklets were developed for future use.This project, undertaken at the Venice Project Center, provides a framework for comprehending the archaeological environment in the Venetian lagoon. This objective was accomplished by reviewing the state-of-the-art in the field, contacting local archaeological groups and participating in their efforts, and overviewing the archaeological superintendency of Venice. Project outcomes include technological alternatives and computer implementations for Venetian archaeologists, illustrative booklets on recent sites, maps and databases for archaeological applications, and suggestions for future projects involving lagoon archaeology.LVAL@UHFor centuries, Venice has remained unaltered; the churches and buildings remain, and the endless maze of canals is still present. However, under the surface, there are slow and destructive changes: the penetration of humidity into the walls of historic buildings; the formation of a black, destructive crust on stone monuments; the warping, cracking, and molding of precious paintings in unregulated churches and art galleries. One of the primary culprits accountable for these transformations is air pollution, which in its most catastrophic form become mixed with water to form acid precipitation. The goal of this project was to correlate weather patterns with the precipitation events and pinpoint sources of primary pollutants present in the atmosphere of Venice in addition to continuing the quantification efforts of the first IQP on acid fog. Moreover, the project group began an investigation of the climate control in the museums and churches of Venice to discover how many pollutants are present in these indoor environments. The project conducted intensive investigations and research of precipitation pH and pollutant content levels. Three particular events were examined and compared: acid rain, acid fog, and acid snow. In addition, they worked in a laboratory and assisted in the research on the effects of the air pollution on various materials. Moreover, the unique weather patterns of Venice were researched providing historical insight on the level of pollutants currently existing in the air surrounding Venice. Finally, a study was conducted on the microclimates of chosen Venetian museums. The instruments used throughout the project such as the rain/fog collector and the pH/ISE meter are explained in great detail. In fact, two booklets were produced for the specific purpose of providing information on how these instruments are properly used. Other booklets developed gave a background on their sponsor and provided compact results and analysis of the work completed through thei, LVAL< r project. Three booklets were created to inform the public of the problems and effects of air pollution in Venice. The project made recommendations for future IQPs. The report also serves as an excellent reference for future projects involving similar topics. The far-reaching implications of the material presented in the study can be further analyzed and utilized to assist in the prevention of deterioration of precious artwork and structures in the city of Venice.LVAL (The museums of Venice contain some of the city s most valued treasures.

There were three databases created; one for the artistic perspective of each piece of art, one for the technical aspects of the art, and one used in the generation of the priority for each piece of art. This project was important for laying a foundation for the cataloguing of art on computer databases in the city of Venice. It contains inforation on all of the art pieces in Cannaregio, and organizes them into a system of priority for restoration. It has many graphs on the types of art, such as year, materials, and category.The museums of Venice contain some of the city s most valued treasures. They provide and opportunity for citizens and tourists to develop and appreciation and understanding of Venice s glorious and eventful history. They contain works of art that are known around the world, and play in invaluable role in preserving the Venetian heritage. The infrastructure of these museums needed to be studied and analyzed to clearly define the challenges and needs of the system. The main goal of this project was to analyze the present situation of the main museums of Venice with an emphasis on the Ca Rezzonico museum and make suggestions of how they can be improved. It is important for the history found in he museum to be organized and able to communicate effectively, and this project team aimed to contribute to the improvement of the museum system. This project group assembled information on 21 museums by obtaining published material, visiting museum sites and surveys. They organized the information gathered into a database and did a detailed analysis on the data. A procedure for image capture, storage, developing floor plans, and analyzing surveys was developed. Databases were integrated and images were geocoded using MapInfo. Finally, the group devised quick reference booklets for the museums and placed all database information on CD ROM for easy access. The project group made recommendations for the museums and provided prototypes and criteria for further analysis of the museum system. This project was the best IQP project completed in 1991 and won the Presidential IQP Award.LVAL@UKMan has been studying ancient civilizations for ages. Archeologists determine sites of historical importance and then begin digging. They then record their findings by hand. By introducing computer technology to a field that has utilized a similar methodology throughout history, one can greatly increase the accuracy of these records, and more easily manipulate data in order to discover truly significant details. Not only is this data easier to store, but it can also be made available to a greater number of people through databases. The purpose of this IQP was to introduce computer technology into the world of Venetian archeology. In order to accomplish this goal, there were several specific sub-goals. The first was to create a database from the information supplied by Equipe Venziana di Ricerca (EVR) about he pottery pieces found at the Malamocco excavation site. The purpose of the database was to show EVR how much easier it is to organize and manipulate the data for analysis once it is in a database form, as opposed to simply writing it on paper. The second sub-goal was to make three-dimensional drawings of the island of San Lorenzo, including its landforms and structures, from hand drawn maps provided by Mr. Ernesto Camal, honorary inspector for lagoon archeology. The purpose of these 3-D representations was for Mr. Camal to better analyze the structures on the island. The final goal was to use neural networking, decision making technology in archeology. A network was developed which was able to determine the shape of the pottery based on certain parameters. The possibilities of applications involving nueral networking in archeology are tremendous. The introduction of computer technology can be incredibly useful. For example, using a database, one can extract data about a particular region of the site, or total up certain kinds of pottery found in specific places in minutes, whereas these manipulations could take hours or days by hand, and would be more likely to contain err LVAL ors. Using AutoCad to make three-dimensional representations takes the guess-work out of understanding each structure in relation to nearby or adjoining structures. Of further importance, using AutoCad, one can separate structures into different views with one quick command, instead of drawing the map all over again. Finally, one can accurately output unknown information about a piece of pottery once the program has been trained to recognize various types. The project made recommendations on possible database structures which best served the archeological purposes. In addition, recommendations were made on how to make the AutoCad drawings more useful. They also discussed possible applications of neural networking applications in the future.LVAL@UMThe unique problems of Venice require ingenious and inventive solutions to apply modern technology while maintaining the aesthetic and historical integrity of the city. The purpose of this project was to develop solutions for some of these problems and suggest future IQPs that could further explore these possibilities. Their investigation included subjects such as: the use of garbage recycling, the possibility of well compactors for use as trash bins; the use of wind energy, ocean energy, and canal dynamos as a source of energy, and the use of solar channel markers to save energy. The project s main accomplishment was the design of a recycling program for the sestiere of Dorsoduro. It was important to design a system that utilized the trash removal system already in use at the time. They developed various bins and bin locations which were convenient and aesthetic for the city. To find suitable locations for the bins, the canals of Dorsoduro were surveyed and pertinent details were recorded on a field form that was later entered into a database. The project group also investigated into the use of well compactors as an alternative to the unsightly garbage bins in the city, but after discovering the historical significance of these wellheads, they realized that their use for such purposes would not be in the best interest of the city. In addition, they investigated alternative sources of energy for the city. They discovered that wind energy would not be feasible as the city does not receive a regular and strong enough wind to create the energy needed by the city. Ocean energy would be, in most cases, impractical because the tidal fluctuations were below standard. For the same reasons, canal dynamos could not be used to power the city, but may be used to charge up a battery during the day for canal lights. They also unearthed that canal markers would be a viable way to save energy for the city. Such application would introduce Venice to the use and maintenance of solar technolog LVAL y as an energy alternative. Moreover, they suggested floating public restrooms that could be added/removed temporarily with the fluctuation of tourists. They further stated that surveillance cameras would be possible, and could be concealed in lighting fixtures similar to the current dcor. Handicapped canal crossings were also addressed and possible bridge designs were presented. The efforts of this project were aimed to help Venice preserve its natural beauty while using modern technology to save energy and its environment. LVAL# The main goal of this project is to explore the technical feasability and socioeconomic desireability of a geographical information system for the city of Venice, and to begin to develop an information system of maps of Venice. In order to accomplish this, three sub-goals were set: 1.) Make a complete survey of all maps of Venice ever produced, and catalogue them on a database. 2.)

Digitize an up-to-date map of Venice on a computer 3.) Incorporate addresses in the digitized map in the Cannaregio sestiere, and to geocode already existing databases of several features of Venice. This project provides very useful information for researchers, and possibly tourists as well. A plan for a tourist information booth is suggested, hoping some day to help the tourists of Venice find their way through the winding streets. Information contained in this project includes a database of all the known maps of Venice, and digitized sections of those maps.LVALQ oThe canal system of the San Marco sestiere of Venice was studied with respect to its physical properties and flow behavior. Throughout the study, systems for the measuring, recording, and storing of dataThe canal system of the San Marco sestiere of Venice was studied with respect to its physical properties and flow behavior. Throughout the study, systems for the measuring, recording, and storing of data were developed and improved. A quantitative model for the system was developed which drew conclusions of mud accumulation and speculated upon flow patterns and, ultimately, the future of the canal system.The C'92 IQP, A Geographical Information System for Venice, Italy, continued and expanded the work began by the E'91 IQP, Venetian Cartography, to create a detailed, computerized map of Venice. The final GIS will utilize menus to access databases and display information ranging from scientific to cultural in nature. We completed much of the detailed map and outlined the necessary steps to link the map with the databases. We developed a computer-aided data entry process (CADE) and additional programs that future groups studying Venice will use to record and display their information.This study offers an evaluation and quantification of the structural damage on the canal walls of Venice, with particular attention to the San Polo, Santa Croce, and Dorsoduro Sestieres, to illustrate how much of the Venetian infrastructure is literally falling to pieces. Photometric techniques long with a detailed archival system was used to quantify both the extent of and distribution of this damage, with efforts made to correlate such damage to boat traffic and the deteriorating effects of boat wakes. Highly damaged canal walls were explained by analyzing the traffic level within the canal, the nature of the building material of the canal walls, and the extent of mud buildup on the canal floor.This report, prepared for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, documents and analyzes boat traffic within the canals of Venice. The three major aspects of the project were to gather an overall idea of Venetian boat traffic, relate the traffic to structural damage, and create a database to store information so that it may be utilized by future groups. It was concluded that action must be taken to curtail the structural damage problem along the canals of Venice. This project acts as a solid base so that other groups may utilize the information already gathered, and proceed on to further study the detrimental effects that motorized boat traffic has on the canal structures.This project involves the creation of a geographic information system integrating past, present and future IQP's, to be used by the Venice Project Center, researchers and possibly tourists. This goal was accomplished by compiling a historical map library database using dBase IV, digitizing and geo-coding a part of a modern map of Venice using MapInfo software package, and finally considering and prototyping a GIS for Venice. LVAL The canals of Venice function as the city's only sewage system and major system of transportation. All of Venice's supplies, food and clothing are transported into the city via boat. Ambulance, fire, and police services are also operated by boat. The canals are Venice's lifeline; without the canal system working properly the city would be practically inhabitable. The goal of this project was to contribute to the conservation of Venice by quantifying motorized boat traffic's detrimental effects upon the structures bordering the canals of Venice. The project group first determined the amount of boat traffic that existed and where the densities were greatest.

The project group first determined the amount of boat traffic that existed and where the densities were greatest. Once an abundance of data was collected, methodologies for the manipulation, presentation, and archival of this data were established. After the collection of information pertaining to boat traffic densities, a method for determining each boat's individual effect on the surrounding structures was created. Wake heights of each class boat were studied in relation to their velocities. Conclusions from this compiled information sugested that the greatest offenders of producing large, powerful, damaging wakes were the boats with 'V' shaped hulls, carrying maximum cargos while travelling at maximum speeds. The project made recommendations for future project teams to more quickly obtain data and suggested topics for future IQP's, including: one focusing on wakes and their correlation to structural damage; one focusing on the harmful boat types; and one investigating the wake heights after dark, when more speed laws are broken.= LVALM When canals are not dredged often enough, the sewer outlets clog and the pipes that lead to them burst . This disperses sewage into the surrounding masonry, which weakens the mortar that holds the bricks in place. This, in turn, causes structural damage in the canal walls. Wake form motor boats and general water erosion also cause holes in the walls. The goal of this project was to illustrate and quantify the extent and distribution of structural damage along the canal walls and related structures (i.e. stairs, docks, etc.) in the sestiere of San Polo, Santa Croce, and Dorsoduro. The students recorded physical measurements, geographical position, shape, surface area, and its height with respect to the green line (avg. water level) of each sewer hole/structural damage studied. The damages were also photographed to provide a visualWhen canals are not dredged often enough, the sewer outlets clog and the pipes that lead to them burst .

The damages were also photographed to provide a visual reference for future studies. All of the collected information was put into a database and linked to MapInfo. This stored information provided statistics for the 48 canal segments and thematic maps. This information was compared with the C92 boat traffic IQP and correlations were made between the extent of the structural damage, the traffic level, sediment build up, and the building material. It was found that both the building material and the level of boat traffic in a canal contribute to the state of the canal. Segment booklets were also produced from the information obtained. Recommendations were made for a standard naming system and for future project teams studying related topics. Information can be found in this project on: -Canal wall damage -Structural Damage -The green line -Segments studied LVAL Geographic Information Systems have become popluar tools in the last few decades. The city of Venice finds two benefits of such systems. Scientists and urban researchers find such systems appealing as tools to help analyze information that pertains to specific geographical locations. Tourists benefit from such a system by being able to learn their way around a city. The goals of this project were; to contiue the development of a digitized map f Venice, enhancing where possible (A continuation of the Venetian Cartography IQP); to simplify and standardize data collection and entry; to simplify the procedure of booklet and data preparation; to standardize the database and its applications; and to further the development of the Venice GIS project.

This project added to the Venetian Cartography project's database and maps. They documented the geocoding procedure and used it to study a substantial portion of the data collected. They linked the data collected in C Term of 1992 to points on the map. In addition, they developed a "paper keyboard" to design and scan in forms that could be filled out by hand. The project group updated prior databases to make the information compatible with their system. They developed templates for databases for future IQP groups to use. This project developed a platform for all data gathered in Venice IQP's. This would provide access to any and all information obtained by WPI projects in Venice at the click of a mouse. Recommendations were made on how the program they developed could be used and further developed.

Unfortunately, this system has been seriously neglected over the past 30 years and sediment is building up on the canal floors at a rapid rate. Traffic and health problems are a result of mud accumulation exposed at low tides. The goal of this project was to quantify the topological and dynamic characteristics of the canals in the sestiere of San Marco. Topological characteristics include those that do not change, or change very slowly over time (i.e. length, width, depth, etc.). On the contrary, dynamic characteristics are those that vary rapidly with time (i.e. flow velocity, flow direction, water height, etc.). This project team built upon the data collected from previous projects. They utilized and combined parts of previous methodologies and created an updated system of collecting large amount of data. Methods were also devised and improved for manipulation, presentation and archival of this data using appropriate computer software. The team also spent a day with middle school students performing canal measurements to initiate an awareness of the problems that exist and the possible solutions. By the end of the term, the physical dimensions of the canals in San Marco were quantified and the accumulation patterns analyzed. The complete set of mud depth measurements yielded a "picture" of each canal floor. It was found that the mud build up was the greatest along the sides of the canals and in the mid-section of the canal. The canals had the least accumulation where there was a lot of traffic, including the middle of canals, their mouths, and at canal intersections. The following two conclusions were also made throughout the course of the project. The first was that there was a relationship between the lunar phase and the behavior of tide heights and flow velocities. Also, winds were found to have a direct affect on tide velocity by making some measurements difficult or possibly  LVALerroneous.

This project, as part of an on-going series, was conducted in the hopes that the city may be galvanized into action before its uniqueness is lost to the world, and to its people. It was suggested in the project that certain methods be implemented to slow the deterioration of the canal walls. Local boat traffic laws, such as routes, speed, and taking corners, should be more heavily enforced. Also, new cargo routes by train were suggested, and efficiently filling the boats making deliveries would decrease the number of wakes per day. Finally new hull designs and electric motors were recommended, but are costly and time consuming. The social impact of this problem is very much two-sided. While this project weighed the needs of persuing Venice's structural condition, maintaining its economic functions had to be considered before proposing any answers. Information contained in this project inludes boat traffic, tide heigts, wake heights, boat maneuvers and documentations and correlations of each.LVAL C gThrough the given information provided by the city of Venice along other with other groups including UNESCO and the Forum of Venice, the project team created a feasible way to assess buildings and document art work.

The project team compiled forms and took photographs to get the necessary assessing information so as to prioritize the present condition of buildings on the canals of Venice. A user friendly database was created and used to store the information. A brochure and poster were created to educate the public on various issues related to the problems of the Venetian canals and on the public work operations.The waterways in the Castello Sestiere of Venice were studied in order to classify each canal. Hydro-dynamic and topological data was obtained as well as other information which aided in developing a useful quantitative model. This model was used to draw conclusions about the state of the canals and their ability to properly function.The D'92 IQP Geographical Information System (GIS) for the canals of Venice, continued and expanded the work began by the E'91 Venetian Cartography and C'92 GIS for Venice, Italy projects. The final GIS will contain a detailed computerized map of Venice, with the ability to access databases and to display information of scuentific and cultural nature. This project added various sections to the computerized map, including canal information about the San Marco sestiere, such as tidal/velocity, traffic, damage/sewage, bridge and other info. Additionally, our group created separate menus to browse through scientific data in MapInfo or D-Base to allow a complete look at all known data concerning the canal system of Venice.This study presents an analysis and quantification of the different types of damage on the canal walls of Venice. The project area involved is the San Marco Sestiere and the boundary between this area and the San Castello Sestiere. Photometric techniques, coupled with an intricate archival system, were used to evaluate the extent of damage within the canals. Building materials, traffic levels and mud build-up were analyzed along with structural damage, in an effort to relate these causes to the existing damage. The research developed in this project will provide the information necessary to evaluate the extent of damage, the causes for this damage, and the social ramifications resulting from this damage.This report, prepared for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), documents and analyzes boat traffic within the canals of Venice. The four major aspects of the project were: to develop an overall idea of Venetian boat traffic, relate the wakes created by the traffic to structural damage and greenline elevation, create a database to store information that could be used by future groups, and create a Paper Keyboard procedure to expedite data entry. It was concluded that some action must be taken to halt, or at least slow the decay of the canals of Venice. This project is a solid base for further work to be done by other groups, either on more in-depth studies, or evaluations of possible solutions.LVAL@UYThe Venetian canals serve two main purposes: the first as an effective transportation system, the second as a sewage removal system. However, with the passage of time, large wakes from boats combined with the impact damage caused by careless drivers in the canals have caused incredible damage to the foundation of the city. This project evaluates and quantifies the extent and location of this structural damage along the canals of San Marco and Castello sestieri of Venice, Italy. The social consequences of such damage are also examined. Through a process known as photometrics, data on all sewage outlets in the project area were obtained. Each entity was photographed from a boat at low tide and assigned a record number. Included in each picture was a scale that allowed the area and position above sea level of the entity to be calculated by measuring the dimensions of its photograph. The students then classified the each sewer hole according to its type and condition. This information was later compiled into a database linked to MapInfo. The position of each sewage outlet and damaged area was located on a MapInfo layer with symbols indicating the type and condition of each. These damage statistics were compared with traffic levels, mud buildup, and type of building material in order to determine any correlation that may have existed. An important finding of this project was that built-up mud along the canal walls blocked sewage outlets causing pipes to burst. The sewage that flowed into the surrounding wall loosened mortar and bricks. In addition, the material a wall was constructed of affected its ability to resist damage; brick was far more susceptible to damage than stone. The project recommended that proper maintenance be undertaken immediately. Moreover, it recommended that protective barriers be erected to guard against impact damage by boats. Finally, the development of educational programs to raise public awareness to the problem and inform them of the responslLVAL|ibility of proper upkeep of these canals was highly recommended. LVAL The E'91 Venetian Cartography project began developing a geographical information system (GIS) for the Venice Project Program and the C'92 project, A Geographical Information System for Venice, Italy, furthered the advancement of this GIS.

Upon its completion, a software package containing a computerized map of Venice with all of the collected data will be available for the city of Venice. Its uses will include tourist boths and geographically-based research being performed on the city. This project added to the mapping system by creating a detailed menu for the GIS. A suggested menu flow-chart was outlined by the C'92 project. However, this year's tem analyzed the current menu, enhanced it, then implemented it. A Geographical Information System for Venice provides a state-of-the-art platform for the collection of data. Databases containing information on museums, art, and churches as well as the canal data geocoded by this group will be useful to both the tourist and the reseacher. LVAL This project addresses the problems faced by the Venetian community with regards to its canal system. This unique city relies entirely on its waterways for transportation and sewage removal. Thus, a great burden is placed upon the system to remove all sediment and debris which accumulates and which disturbs general boat transit. The canals are not self-sustaining, perforoming such a difficcult task, and they need to be periodically maintained. With proper upkeep, the canal system allows for relatively clean city.

Faced with such issues of aesthetics, health concerns and transportation difficulties, a major campaign was set up to study all aspects of the Venetian waterways, concentrating on the region known as Castello. This was done in an attempt to quantify the degree of emergency in which the city finds itself. OF specific interest in this study was the analysis of the hydrodynamic and topological characteristics of the canal network. This project helped a program to expose Middle School students to the dynamics of the canals. Twelve to fourteen year old students from schools all over Venice participated in a "day of canal measurements" on June 2nd, 1992. The project then interpreted the results on the current flow. The project also suggested a solution to Venice's parking problems. Some boats park in a canal that isn't wide enough to allow another boat to pass. This causes problems to traffic flow, delivery times, and especially emergency vehicles. Information contained in this project includes tide heights, canal depths, bridge heights, and canal flows of the sestiere of Castello.^ LVALn The city of Venice does most of its travel and deliveries by boat through its many winding canals. Over the years, the introduction of motorized boats into the city has produced many problems in the delicate system. One of which are the wakes produced by passing boats that reach a level higher than the anticipated high tides, thus deteriorating the canal wall brickwork on the buildings along these canals.

The project concluded by stating two priciple solutions to the problems plaguing the deterioration of the canal walls caused by the motorized traffic in the city of Venice. One is the need to limit the amount of vessels producing excessive wakes, the other is to make these documented effects available to the public in hopes of providing a stimulus and basis for the social, political, and economic actions required to prevent further damage to the canal walls, ultimately preserving this unique city.

It is the opinion if this project group that the installation of solar powered canal markers will be a stepping stone for other solar applications in Venice. Furthermore, solar power presents a promising energy alternative to the present methods, and its importance will increase with the pollution of the earth s environments, and its depletion of fossil fuels.This study, prepared in part for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, presents a comprehensive review of the past twelve IQPs which have studied and gathered extensive data on the canals of Venice, Italy. In addition to this summarization, this project team has collected data in missing areas in order to further complete an accurate documentation of the entire canal network. This project represents the first thorough examination of previous studies, systematically organizing and standardizing all findings so that future canal studies can proceed according to a rigorously defined methodology.This project was developed to aid in the non-destructive analysis of artwork known as Reflectoscopy. The main goal was to streamline the Reflectoscopy process which includes the creation of an image database, a file naming convention, and macro programs which maximize efficiency. The study of social impacts of Reflectoscopy included surveying the users of the Reflectoscopy exhibit at the Palazzo Grassi, analyzing the resulting data, and designing a demonstration and brochure explaining Reflectoscopy.Sponsored by the Venetian cultural organization Archeo Venice, this project group cataloged information on external art in the sestieri of San Polo and Santa Croce at the Venice project center utilizing databases. Through the use of formulas developed by the project group, cost estimates as well as prioritized lists for restoration were generated. Computerized maps, slide shows, school projects, and ideas for rasing funding were all by-products of the project.This project catalogs, quantifies, and evaluates the sewage outlets and structural damage found along the canal walls in the sestiere Castello di Venezia. Utilizing photodocumentation and an intricate archival system, the information collected can be easily accessed for use in facilitating the restoration of the canal walls. Also, social aspects are addressed in the creation of a program for Venetian school children aimed at educating them about their canals.The purpose of this report is to document and analyze the effects of motorized boat traffic on the Venetian canals, with the ultimate goal of trying to preserve this unique, and threatened treasure. The three major aspects of the project are: to study boat traffic patterns and traffic intensities within the Sestiere di Castello di Venezia, correlate the size of the wakes generated by all types of boats, in order to determine the possible culprits for the structural damage to the canal walls, and finally to create various databases to store this information so that it may be utilized by future groups. It is hoped that these documented effects will provide an impetus and solid foundation for the social, political, and economical actions required to prevent future damage to the canal walls, ultimately preserving the city of Venice.LVAL Today, the canals and their surrounding walls are threatened on numerous levels. Sediment buildup in several areas has reached such high levels that passage is impossible during low tide. Wakes from speeding boats are continuously eating away at the mortar which holds the walls together. Factors such as these combined with the lack of large scale repair efforts make the canals of Venice pale in comparison to their former impressiveness. The purpose of this project is to quantify and evaluate the structural damage and sewage outlets along the canal walls of the Castello sestiere. Correlations were made between these findings and external factors such as mean sea level, the green line, and construction materials. An alarming trend was revealed in the study of the structural damage and sewage outlets during this project.

An alarming trend was revealed in the study of the structural damage and sewage outlets during this project. The present generation of Venetians are exhibiting an inexcusable lack of respect for the canals which make their city unique. The instances of illegal sewage outlets are becoming greater every day, as are the occurrences of impact damage. It was recommended that regulations be enforced more strictly in an attempt to alleviate all cases of exposed sewage outlets. The majority of these pipes, when illegally routed through drain pipes, do not even reach the high tide mark. The spewing of raw sewage through these pipes in neither visually appealing nor healthy. Also, in an effort to lessen the cases of impact damage, regulations should be imposed to restrict oversized boats from passing through narrow canals. This will prevent the frequent damage done to corners and steps when a boat forces its way through a tight corner or hits a rive. These suggestions should help to begin the process of a canal preservation.LVAL@U`Rising from a fisherman s village to a world power over the course of a millenium, the city of Venice is unique in nature. Providing a crucial link between the East and the West civilized worlds, Venice thrived in its own time. Its distinctive character being the result of its receptivity to a multitude of cultural influences, Venice is an unusual city of beauty. Although the power of the Venetian republic has faded, its cultural legacy lives on through its architecture and its works of art. Most indicative of the ancient Venetian s artistic taste are the pieces of external art, which adorn many structures in the city. However, these pieces face an uncertain future because they are battered by the elements, corroded by pollution and are in dire need for repair. Usually passed by restorers for more tourist frequented pieces of Venetian culture, the outdoor art in Venice is in a desperate position. If this neglect is continued, these historical pieces will soon pass into oblivion. The purpose of this project was to continue the preceding IQP and facilitate the restoration of external art in Venice. In addition, the project group desired to take additional measures to educate the Venetian people of their precious heritage. The project group developed three databases. One database focused on the artistic information about the piece such as its type and century of creation. The second database generated had such information as the height of the piece of the ground and the material from which it was made. The third database served as a summary database linking the two prior databases providing complete information on each piece. In addition, this project group developed formulas to evaluate the data collected. Complex formulas were derived to estimate the cost of restoring each piece of external art. From the application of these formulae, they were able to determine the average cost of restoration per piece and derive the greatest source of expense. With this information, theyLVALv were able to make suggestions on how to reduce the cost of restoration. Moreover, they refined these developed databases by making them interactive allowing easy access to the gathered information. Pieces of external art were placed on a computerized map of Venice. In addition, slides were taken for the use of the Archeoclub of Venice to publicize the group s findings. Finally, a school program was developed to help educate the youth of Venice of the fantastic cultural legacy surrounding them. Through these efforts, their goal of informing the Venetians of their valuable heritage could be accomplished. Through educating the public, it would be possible to generate the funding necessary to save the irreplaceable pieces of Venetian history. Included in their recommendations were an Archeoclub slide show, tax incentives for restoration businesses, methods to reduce scaffolding costs, a treasure hunt to educate Venetian children, and the advantages of interactive computer programs.LVALPeople view the importance of art differently, some see it as an integral part of society, and others regard it as less significant. It is vital to develop an understanding among society by communicating the importance of art and the necessity for its preservation.

Finally, they studied the social impact of the Infrared Reflectoscopy applications. They developed software and databases that automated the Reflectoscopy process and transferred images from the database to image manipulation software. In addition, they developed a computer demonstration of Reflectoscopy, which was featured at Palazzo Grassi in Venice. Methods of informing the public of this important work was improved by developing an advanced computer program for demonstration and an informative brochure. Surveys were given to users at the demonstration to obtain information on how the program could be further improved.rLVALJUVenice s vital waterways have, for centuries, served dual purposes: as a transportation medium and as a waste removal system. It is only with constant and systematic maintenance that these canals can meet the demands of the city. However, for the past three decades, the canals have suffered from serious neglect. Up until the start of this IQP, WPI had completed twelve projects related to the canals with the intent of gathering information about the inter workings of the canals. With this information, it would then be possible to properly address areas of neglect and damage and determine possible actions for the prevention of future problems. This project summarized each individual aspect of canal analysis and suggests to future groups the process of data organization which will most properly and efficiently illustrate a complete representation of the canal network. In addition, they systemized past procedures and methods developing a universal system to prevent future discrepancies and allow for precise representation of similar data. Moreover, missing areas of study were determined and data was collected in these areas. This included information in the sestieri of S. Croce, Dorsoduro, and Cannaregio. Also provided is a complete and corrected segment code naming system. The project includes (in catalog form) a listing of all coding errors from prior projects. Plus, an indication of which types of data was gathered for each segment was also included. The project concluded with a summary of results indicating the importance of their findings for future modeling. For example, by manipulating the data, the opening of rii terra, construction of new canals and the possibility of canal closings can be simulated in a model before any of these procedures are actually attempted. It was intended that through these efforts, there would be a significant contribution to the restoration and preservation of the unique city of Venice. LVALe Several of the channels leading to outer islands of Venice are not illuminated because it is expensive and difficult to run the power lines along the canals. The lack of light makes it difficult for the boats to operate without daylight. The purpose of this project is to design a network of canal markers to illuminate at night-time the canal la Bissa and part of the canal delle Vignole which lead to the island of Sant' Erasmo; a solar powered system will be compared to othe alternatives.

For the people of Sant' Erasmo this would prove to be a great economic and practical assistance. It would also provide the city of Venice with valuable experience in the management of renewable sources of energy. Information contained in this project includes a fifty year cost analysis of the proposed lighting systems. It also contains statistics on photocell outputs, light bulb energy charts, and various diagrams on current and proposed means of illumination.Venice has such a unique, incredible and glorious history that the ultimate goal of the archeologists of Venice is to discover and preserve this history. It was the intention of this IQP to aid the archeologists in this endeavor, primarily by introducing them to new methods of finding and cataloging historic sites and artifacts. This project group performed several preliminary surveys of various underwater sights. By confirming or disproving the archeological significance of each sight, they assisted local archeologists in their work. In addition to their underwater surveying, they demonstrated the extensive capabilities for computer applications in the field of archeology, particularly by creating a computerized archeological mapping system and artifact inventory. Furthermore, the overall status of their homebase, the Lazzaretto Nuovo, was evaluated contributing to the improvement of its appearance. Finally, by helping in the running of the archeological youth camp situated on the island, they helped to raise the consciousness of young Italians to the importance of their historical heritage and the necessity to preserve it. The use of computers proved to be a powerful tool in assisting the archeological process. The project group made strong recommendations for further work with the Archeoclub on the Lazzaretto Nuovo as well as with their program for educating young Italians about their heritage.

The project established an efficient method of documenting the art and buildings along the canals. In particular, artwork was classified as decorative or destructive so as to differentiate the possible types of restoration needed for each piece. They also further developed methods for determining the structural integrity of the 72 buildings they collected data for. The team developed graphs and tables to easily digest the data gathered. They developed algorithms that best represented the conditions and state of repair of the buildings. In addition, they compiled a list of the ten worst and the ten best buildings and presented them in their final report. Finally the group developed two information packets designed to inform the public of the issues faced in the Venetian canals. With these publications, it would be possible to raise support from the public for future restoration efforts. LVAL In 1995, fifty projects had been completed through the Venice Project Center. A project needed to be completed that organized these projects so that the information could be easily accessed and distributed. The main goals of this project were: 1. To bring organization to the VPC through methods such as the creation of an all inclusive database describing each individual project. 2. To make the information about the VPC more accessible by the public through the creation of informational packets about the VPC and its projects, the creation of a WWW page, and through the write up of this document. To achieve these goals a background was created on the history of the Venice Project Center and the projects completed through the center.

To achieve these goals a background was created on the history of the Venice Project Center and the projects completed through the center. Packets on topics studied (art, canals, and environment) were also created containing the title, authors, advisors, abstract and executive summaries of each project. This information was also put into a database. A web page was also designed and implemented to serve as a primary source of information for anyone interested in the Venice Project Center, the work it has done, and/or the topics of study. Templates were also created for better organization of the IQP documents. Accomplishments of the VPC were also outlined in the categories of art, canals, and education. Recommendations were made to continue the work initiated in this project to include updates and new ideas, such as an annual newsletter.

Through a series of on site field testing campaigns using a variety of techniques and instruments, extensive data was collected on the Venetian sewage system and canal water quality. This data was analyzed statistically to identify the determinants of the quality of water in the canals of Venice and the impact of water quality of the Venetian sewage system. Recommendations were made for improving water quality and establishing a future Citizens Water Quality Monitoring Program in this great historical city.In this project a computerized catalog was created of all outdoor art pieces in the sestiere di Dorsoduro in Venice with accompanying photographs and conservation ratings. Each piece's condition and importance was assesed and its cost of restoration estimated. Using a procedure reported in the psychology literature, weights were determined for each conservation and imprtance factor and used to calculate a "resoration benefit" for each piece. This benefit was devided by the restoration cost to determine each piece's priority for repair. All this information was entered into the catalogue and should contirbute to the eventual restoration of the pieces of outdoor art that would benefit the most form repair.This project provides the city of Venice with an in depth study of the present traffic flows, delivery patterns and docking facilities of the canals surounding the islands of Santa Maria Formosa and Frari. It forcasts the impact on traffic, deliveries and docking, of the closure of segments of these canal systems. Data was gathered, analyzed, and methods developed, to provide alternative traffic and delivery routes during the canal's closures.This project, conducted in conjunction with the Venice Project Center of WPI, presents the results of our extensive evaluations of the state of deterioration of the public well-heads of the Venetian sestiere of Dorsoduro. In addition, we created an algorithm which analyzes raw data recorded during field work and determines the benefit to the community from the restoration of each well-head. We rated well-heads of Dorsoduro in terms of benefit from restoring them and determined their priority for restoration. We evaluated the plausibility of converting the cisterns of the wells into a reservoir for fire fighting measures. Also, as the first project concerned solely with the well-heads of Venice, we established a methodology, a comprehensive rating scheme, and a thorough process for the analysis of data to be used by future projects concerned with Venetian wells.The primary goal of this project was the creation and implementation of tools which would improve the organizational structure of the Venice Project Center. A database and template were created to consolidate and standardize all the past, present, and future work of the Project Center. Through a creation of a World Wide Web page, the public image of the VPC was enhanced. Also towards this end, numerous papers detailing various aspects of the VPC were written and informational packets, summarizing each of the IQP s, were completed. LVAL This project was an extension of the outdoor projects that had been completed prior to 1995. The well heads of Venice contain artistic and historical value, as well as a source of fresh water. Each one is decorated with such unique designs as coats of arms and inscriptions. However, there was no documentation of these important pieces of outdoor art. The goals of this project were to: 1. Document the condition, location, and general characteristics, such as measurements, materials, directional orientation, dcor, condition, and evidence of prior restoration 2. Establish a restoration system and priority list 3. Assess the wells usefulness for fire-fighting The project team achieved all of their goals.

It consists of in depth studies of traffic, delivery patterns, and docking facilities in the canals of Venice. These studies were performed in the insulae of Santa Maria Formosa and Frari, as they were the next two islands where canals are scheduled for restoration. The purpose of these studies was to develop alternate routes for traffic and deliveries during canals closure. Docking spaces were cataloged and alternative docking sites were suggested. It was the aim of this project to anticipate problems and complications resulting from canals so that solutions could be planned accordingly. The team also cataloged all the docks around Santa Maria Formosa and Frari insulae. No maintenance work has been done to the canals surrounding these islands in the past thirty years.

The team also cataloged all the docks around Santa Maria Formosa and Frari insulae. No maintenance work has been done to the canals surrounding these islands in the past thirty years. Many problems have arisen, including; mud sedimentation accumulation, which has decreased the depth of the canals and interferes with boat traffic, as well as obstructing sewer outlets. Foundations have begun to deteriorate, threatening the collapse of buildings. Health issues have become a concern. These problems, together with those caused by nature, ie high tides, makes the canals situation critical. It is of great importance for the city of Venice to clean its canals while minimizing the inconvenience it will cause to the people. Suggestions of a prioritized order for canal closures were made, as well as the notification to the public of these closures upon implementation to allow maximal ease and minimal traffic. Information contained in this project includes tide flows, traffic flows, types of boats, and bypass routes for various canals in the insulae of Santa Maria Formosa and Frari.LVALOutdoor art can be found everywhere in Venice. Many pieces hold historical, as well as artistic value. Still, this art tends to be overlooked and neglected in favor of the better known sites. The purpose of this IQP was to expand on the work done in the prior five projects on this topic by creating a computerized catalog of outdoor art (Dorsoduro) and to prioritize these pieces so that the limited funding can be appropriately distributed. The team added several categories to the field form used in past projects to make their data more accurate. Next, equations were developed to determine the state of decay, the importance rating, and restoration cost estimates. This information was organized into three databases dealing with technical aspects, artistic aspects, and location.

A weighting system was developed through the statistical technique known as regression analysis. Algorithms were established to find a piece s conservation number, benefit of restoration, and cost of restoration in order to rank the pieces. Conclusions were made on what pieces of outdoor art would benefit most from restoration. Recommendations were made for better equipment and future projects. This project was considered the best IQP completed in 1995 and won the Presidential IQP Award for that year. This IQP contains: -Information on outdoor art (definition, types, etc.) -Causes and types of deterioration -Statistical analysis methods -A detailed literature review on articles used (i.e. Science, Values and Human Judgment; The Conservation of Antiques and Works of Art; and Art Restoration)0 LVAL@ Venice's natural sewage system consists of a very simple piing network running directly from the buildings to the canals via thousands of sewage outlet holes located on the walls of each canal. Decades of neglect, lack of general maintenance, and even boat traffic collisions have left many of these outlet holes in poor condition. This has resulted in the slow transformation of some of the canals into rather displeasing and foul smelling areas. This project continues in part the assessment of holes damage and then takes the study further to include the water quality in these insula. The goals of this project were: 1.) To collect water quality data to find correlations between the different parameters and physical properties, and 2.) to give useful and well-informed recommendations for a volunteer citizen's monitoring program in the VenetiaVenice's natural sewage system consists of a very simple piing network running directly from the buildings to the canals via thousands of sewage outlet holes located on the walls of each canal.

To collect water quality data to find correlations between the different parameters and physical properties, and 2.) to give useful and well-informed recommendations for a volunteer citizen's monitoring program in the Venetian Lagoon. Data was collected on the canals with regards to; tide height, secchi depth or turbidity, flow velocity and direction, water temperatures, pH, and salinity. All of this information was entered into a database and used for further analysis. Suggestions were made for the citizen's monitoring program, including guidelines for data collection. For this project to be best utilized, a continuing survey of canal statistics need to be taken frequently, and examined in the same manner for comparison. Conclusions were made that salinity is inversely related to water consumption, and directly related to the volume of the canal as well as its flow velocity. Since all fresh water in the canals originates from sewage, this data will be very useful to Venice in establishing a regular mainenance schedule for the excavation of the canals. LVAL Since the flood of 1966, Venice and various private organizations have begun to take action to preserve the precious city. Among these efforts have been endeavors to restore prominent outdoor art. However, it is often that the smaller, less significant pieces of outdoor art are neglected. WPI students completed projects that create computerized catalogs of outdoor art in two Sestiere of Venice prior to this project. However, neither IQP had addressed keystones. In addition, there was no literature found which documented each keystone in Venice. Therefore, it was necessary to comb every corner of Cannaregio.

The keystones are a part of a structure in addition to serving as outdoor dcor. As a result, the data collection sheet used for each piece was modified from those from prior projects to include structural assessment parameters. This information was then cataloged in a computer database. Finally, with regression analysis, the benefit of restoration of each piece was calculated. The estimated restoration cost was calculated by modifying the formulae created by past projects. Subsequently, a list of decorative keystone heads that warrant the most attention was compiled. The most important objective of this project was to encourage public support for the restoration of the keystone heads. It was intended that through their effort, the public would take greater notice of the keystone heads and prevent them from losing their artistic and architectural values.LVAL D /This project, in collaboration with the Ctiy of Venice, Department of Public Works, developed a computer catalog of Venice's flagstaff pedestals.

This catalog encompasses the locations, dimensions, state of conservation, subjective cultural values, and pertinent digital photographs of each pedestal. Through regression analysis, a prioritized list for the restoration of the pedestals was was established. The project concludes with recommendations made for maintaining and re-introducing flagstaff pedestals into Venetian society as they were originally intended, to fly the flags of Venice.This project, undertaken at the Venice Project Center and sponsored by the Forum per la Laguna di Venezia, provides the elements for the compilation of an informational and educational CD-ROM on the Northern Lagoon of Venice. Histories of the lagoon and its islands were reviewed and sites were visited, where photographs and short video clips were taken. As a result, several informative animations and computer graphics were designed. This CD-ROM will be distributed by the Forum as a promotional means to revitalize this virtually abandoned area.The Forum for the Lagoon of Venice is sponsoring this project to establish a basis for implementing a Local Agenda 21 Sustainability Program for Venice, Italy. The main accomplishments were the creation of an indicator list, establishment of a ranking system for indicators, identification of data sources and the creation of a prototype letter of agreement with them. To involve the public, an educational campaign was outlined containing an educational brochure, intermediate package and road show, technical report and survey.This project, completed at the Venice Project Center and sponsored by the Instituto Veneto per il Lavoro (IVL), explores alternatives for the reutilization of the Cardazzo Complex, a group of buildings owned by the IVL and presently not in use, as a center for the training of craftsmen. Working from background research on artisan skills and their role in preservation and restoration of art and architectural treasures, interviews, and the goals of the IVL, several reutilization scenarios were developed. Recommendations are made which fit the constraints imposed by market realities, political consideration, and the physical limits of the facilities.In order to create a prioritization method for Venetian bell towers, data was gathered and analyzed from all the bell towers in Cannaregio and Lido along with one from Dorsoduro and San Marco. A bell tower database and MapInfo layers were completed for easy storage and updating of the collected information. Finally, a prioritization order was found using regression analysis. With these results and conclusions, an attempt can be made to attract supporters and begin this new Venetian restoration project.This IQP is concerned with the preservation and restoration of decorative keystone heads in Venice, Italy. The first computerized keystone catalog was created. It included the keystones on public bridges in all of Venice and the keystones on the doors and windows of Sestiere de Cannaregio. Computerized databases, mapping, and scientifically derived formulae were used to calculate the restoration priority of the keystones and to estimate the restoration cost. The project concluded with suggestions and recommendations to the future IQP groups.LVALJUoVenice has a rich and glorious history. From its beginnings as a few lonely islands in the lagoon of the northern Adriatic Sea, to its rise as a world and its contribution in the evolution of art, it has made a serious mark on the pages of world history. Although the Republic no longer stands, its culture is still present in its artwork and architecture. However, in the past century, pollution and erosion have taken its toll on these ancient works. Among the suffering pieces are the precious bell towers that rise above the city. Although restoration efforts have been instituted throughout the Churches of Venice, it is often that the bell towers are overlooked because of their massive size and little decoration. Many have ceased to ring and function due to such neglect. The main objective of this IQP was to design a system to prioritize the bell towers of Venice according to their need for restoration. A method was determined for evaluating both the interior and exterior of the bell towers. All of the bell towers in Venice were located and placed in a map of the city using MapInfo. In addition, the towers were prioritized according to their need for restoration. The group was allowed access to three towers. They gathered internal data in these towers and realized that the inside can be in entirely different condition than the outside. They concluded that it was vital to evaluate each tower both inside and out. They developed an in depth catalog database containing photographs and all pertinent information gathered for each tower. These databases were linked with MapInfo so that upon selecting a site on the map with a mouse, one can view all of the information associated with the selected tower. Simple restoration methods were recommended to improve the current condition of the bell towers studied. It was intended that, through this project and the computerized catalog, the efforts of restoration organizations be enhanced leading to the eventual restoration of all Venetia^LVALnn bell towers allowing them to remain a part of the Venetian lifestyle. LVAL The Cardazzo Complex was an abandoned group of buildings owned by the IVL. The organization intended to utilize the building to benefit and educate local artisans of Venice and possibly attract new artisans to the city. The primary purpose of this project was to provide the IVL with a plan for the complete reutilization of the Cardazzo Complex, focusing on "artistic craftsmanship". Individual artistic crafts have been slowly dying out in the Veneto region as a result of computerization and mass production.

The organization hopes to use the complex to train artisans artistic and practical crafts to reverse this trend. The project group toured a similar facility to determine what necessary accommodations would be needed at the complex. They analyzed each of the rooms in the complex and then determined the criteria for eliminating impractical trades. After impractical trades were eliminated, the remaining crafts were then narrowed down to twelve finalists by comparing the facilities needed for each trade, the craft's economical potential, and the availability of instructors for each. The possible scenarios were then determined. The main scenario focused on the instruction of artistic crafts, the second added the demonstration of artistic crafts, and the final focused on the instruction of artistic crafts to non-artisans. The use of each floor of the complex is described in detail and a suggested timetable is provided. Finally, the project addressed marketing issues for the IVL to consider and the different possibilities for funding the reutilization plan.h LVAL ?

Success of sustainability on a global scale depends on the creation of many smaller sustainable communities. As this movement gains momentum more and more cities will create similar programs, thus creating a sustainable global community. Sustainability is a concept that was bred out of the environmental movement and is unique in that it recognizes that the environment is not a single independent system. It is effected by and affects every system it comes into contact with (i.e. society, economy, technology, etc.). Sustainability tries to find a balance between these relationships that permits life to continue on this planet indefinitely. This project outlines the standard guidelines that must be followed by the city of Venice if sustainability is to be implemented. These guidelines form only the skeleton of a sustainable community. The details of this  skeleton are filled in primarily by the residents because public participation is the first priority in developing a sustainable community. Collecting citizen opinion on what constitutes sustainability in a particular community identifies the key concerns of the community which can be monitored over time by  indicators . For collection of data for the indicators, emphasis was placed on creating strong connections with reliable data sources. It is of paramount importance that the data is correct, periodical and readily available with a low cost/benefit collection ratio. Some of the major data sources identified as critical are: Aziende Multiservizi Ambientali Venezia (AMAV) which provide data on municipal waste creation, and the Statistical Office of Venice with population and housing information, etc. A prototype letter of agreement with these data sources has been drafted to facilitate future collection. Sample data was collected on Population and Tourist Presence per Resi LVAL dent Ratio indicators. The results show that 1951 was the last year that the overall population of Venice has risen, decreasing at a steady rate since then. For the tourist per resident ratio indicator, the trend shows constant increase in the ratio, due to both population decrease and tourist presence increase. All of the indicator related results have been stored and organized in a database. In order for the implemenation of sustainability to be successful, public awareness and involvement must be present at all times. To address this issue, this project created a methodology to educate, and obtain feedback from, the citizens of Venice. This methodology is a frame for future projects to develop and implement the actual public campaign.# LVAL3 The main objective of this project was the compilation of an interactive CD-ROM on the Laguna Nord (Northern Lagoon of Venice). Through the production of this CD three minor goals were accomplished. First they hoped to educate the public on the Northern Lagoon of Venice. They planned for the CD to be used in public schools, by businesses, by those interested in touring Venice, or by anyone else who wishes to learn more about the lagoon. Secondly, they hoped to alleviate part of the touristic pressure which plagues the city of Venice. The CD-ROM was designed tol spark an interest in the Laguna Nord in those visiting the Veneto region of Italy.

If people are able to learn about the extensive history and environmental beauty the Venetian Lagoon holds, they may decide to indulge in exploring the area. Finally, by bringing tourism to the lagoon, they hoped that it would spark economic growth within the lagoon islands. Many of the islands of the Laguna Nord were once lively communities, but have crumbled over the years due to their gradual abandonment. Local organizations have taken interest in restoring these islands which hold great potential in attracting the Venetian tourist. The final section of our Results presents conceptual designs for eleven animations to be created for the CD-ROM. These animations deal with the following topics: -The genesis of the lagoon -Human alterations to the lagoon -Changes in water level over time -Astronomical tides and meteorological effects -Touristic flows -Animated timeline -The sinking of Venice -Population demographics -The history of pollution -Archeology in the lagoon -The building of VeniceLVALJUvThis project focuses the management boat parking both under ordinary circumstances and extraordinary circumstances during canal maintenance. In particular case studies were completed on the canals surrounding the areas of Santa Maria Formosa and Santa Maria dei Frari in the Venetian boroughs of Castello and San Polo, respectively. The project provides an initial methodology for the improvement of parking spaces. The optimum distance between a parked boat and a dock, the minimum canal width, the minimum canal depth, and the minimum height allowed by bridges in the canal are determined to allow proper allocation of parking spaces and uninhibited traffic flow. To find the optimum distance, several considerations and criteria are being stressed which include mud accumulation, traffic, and existing parking sites. The creation of a comprehensive database system is the main goal of this project. Such databases will help all studies of parking, traffic, and canal related projects in a significant way. Information on canals nowadays is so fragmented that the collection of it in Venice has become a project in itself. The project will be used by the sponsor, COSES, who will submit the final results to the City of Venice. Working along with COSES to organize parking and boat information, this project provides a basis for the improvements in the management of spaces within the specified canals surrounding the insulas of Santa Maria Formosa and Santa Maria dei Frari. Data collected in the field was performed to integrate City Hall s with WPI s databases; also field work was done to complete missing data given by City Hall. Databases were created and improved; information and raw data provided by the city of Venice were organized, classified and stored in easy to use files. The same files were then integrated into a Geographical Information System (GIS) where the information gathered is displayed in an organized manner. The GIS system used in this project was a mapping software package called MapInJLVALZfo. Actual parking sites were collected and transferred into a MapInfo layer where an aerial view of the whole insula can be seen and a better perspective achieved. Parking space has a profound impact on the organization, economic, and social activities of the Venetian society. With the use of central place theory, the geographical problem of how land is allocated among human activities competing for it, can be dealt with. In this project, the such theory is applied toward parking spaces and the underlying economics of the demand and supply for them. An organized system to manage the parking space allocation during normal times of canal closure due to construction and maintenance is thus developed. One of the outcomes of this project is the initial development of a simulation algorithm that will allow the user to relocate parked boats to other sections of a canal when needed. The algorithm will be based on the files created in Access and MapInfo.LVAL5 : 1This project provided the Comune di Venezia with a preliminary decision support system (DSS) for planning canal maintenance.

The project first regularized previously collected data and established fields and processes for further collections of canal characteristics (dimensions, traffic flows, hydrodynamics, hygiene) as well as docks, bridges, and parking spaces. Then the project created a menu driven DSS providing access to all the data for decision makers. The project concluded with recommendations to the technical team that will implement the actual DSS.This Interactive Qualifying Project prepared for the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization provides a proposal to optimize the cargo boat delivery system in Venice to decrease the traffic congestion and reduce the wakes that destroy the canal walls, using San Marco sesitiere as the prototype. An analysis of all physical restrictions in the San Marco sestiere that interfere with the smooth transport of cargo has been completed, including dock measurements, delivery utilization, bridge heights, minimum canal depths and widths traffic behavior and parking space information.This project (Sponsored by Thetis, a private consortium of marine technology firms based in the arsenal of Venice) evaluates the current ambulance dispatch system of Venice and proposed an improvement. A prototype of a computerized dispatch system, using TransCAD software, acounts for all delaying factors unique to Venice, e.g. traffic patterns of gondolas and cargo boats in the canals, tide changes which alter bridge heights, sediment accumulation which alters canal depths. The prototype moreover plots the quickest land routes from the nearest dock to the emergency, thus overcoming some of the mystery of Venice's sestiere address numbering system. The project concludes by recommending city wide adoption of the dispatch system system for all emergency services.This study, sponsored by Alan Hassett, president of the Oak Hill Company, analyzes the feasibility of the implementation of a HIFLO vacuum sewerage system in Venice. In depth valve and piping schematics were made for the islands of Santa Maria Formosa and Santa Marta. From these schematics, thorough cost estimates were projected. A form of implementation was recommended to the city. This is a preliminary feasibility study that may lead to the implementation of a vacuum sewerage system in Venice.This project contains an emphasis on the improvement and organization of parking spaces within and around the insula of Santa Maria Formosa and the insula of Santa Maria dei Frari in times of scarcity due to canal closures. In correlation with COSES and the City of Venice, organizational tools consisting of databases and maps are created. The integration of existing data with the production of canal boat parking solutions will seek to maintain original, uninterrupted traffic flow patterns. The challenge inherent in this project is that a solution is rarely simultaneously optimal with respect to all the different criteria to be considered. The final solution is therefore dependent on the organizational tools developed; thereafter improving and organizing the parking spaces within the canals after dredging and maintenance. The organization and the management systems of canal boat parking and canal traffic are then used for municipal purposes in Venice.O } L J< G#sEE 199 EE 1998Monitoring and Analysis of the Cargo Delivery System in the Sestieri of S.

The goal of this project was to propose a sewerage system to prevent further damage to the canals, buildings, and ecological environment while preserving the historical areas. This system would provide a low maintenance alternative to the city as opposed to the "emergency repairs" method that was used as the current system. This project established a solid background for the current and proposed HIFLO vacuum sewerage system. Then applicability, cost and social impact were analyzed through general research and surveys. Three implementation options were then proposed. Schematics were created by using MapInfo to show the proposed vacuum piping for each of these options, as well as the locations of the pumping stations. Cost estimates were then made for each option. Conclusions are made on the advantages and disadvantages of each option and one is ultimately recommended for each test island studied. This project was considered the best IQP completed in 1997 and won the Presidential IQP Award for that year. Information that can be found in this IQP is as follows: -The sewer system in Venice, 1997 -Vacuum sewer technology, specifically, the HIFLO system -Methods of calculation and analysis of each option LVAL Venice is a city constructed on many little islands in the large Venetian Lagoon. Canals run through these islands and many boats travel their waters for personal and business transportation. The canals vary in depth, width, and the amount of traffic on them, therefore every canal is not always accessible to any boat. Traveling through water is not as efficient as travelling on land and is especially a problem for emergency vehicles which need to be fast and efficient when reaching an emergency location. The overall goal of this project was to develop a working prototype of a computerized dispatch system for the San Marco sestiere of Venice. In order to accomplish this, past information on the widths and depths of bridges, tide changes, and traffic had to be researc Venice is a city constructed on many little islands in the large Venetian Lagoon.

The overall goal of this project was to develop a working prototype of a computerized dispatch system for the San Marco sestiere of Venice. In order to accomplish this, past information on the widths and depths of bridges, tide changes, and traffic had to be researched from past projects. Next, this information was related to the dimensions of the ambulances to determine accessability. Once this inormation was placed into databases, it was then used for the implementation of a prototype for the emergency dispatch system. It shows the fastest routes to an emergency, with detailed maps to the location. This helps solve the mystery of the numbering system for buildings in Venice. Sites will be reached faster, and that is always a consideration when rushing to an emergency scene. This project contains the datasheets used when planning the routes with included information on bridges, canals, streets, traffic, etc. It also has the program created to be used by dispatchers to easily direct boat drivers to the emergency location.G LVALW Boats are needed for trade and transportation and causes much traffic congestion. Due to physical restrictions, such as bridge height and canal depth and width, many canals cannot be use by larger boats. Parking spaces and deliveries at docks also take up space and prevent the passage of other boats. As a result, larger canals experience more traffic and wakes are created that slowly deteriorate the canals walls and building foundations. The goal of this project was to optimize the traffic flow of cargo boats through the canals in an effort to decrease the traffic congestion and subsequent environmental damage within the canals. They achieved this goal by organizing the existing data that had been collected in similar projects prior to1997 into a database. Data was also collected concerning delivery restrictions such as cBoats are needed for trade and transportation and causes much traffic congestion.

Data was also collected concerning delivery restrictions such as canal measurements, traffic data, dock dimensions, delivery data, parking information and bridge dimensions in the sestiere of San Marco. This new information was added to the database and a delivery system was proposed. Recommendations were made in the form of an optimization plan that satisfied the ecological, economic, and personal factors involved in this process. Respectively, they suggested implementing electric boats to reduce pollution and structural damage. Also, an efficient delivery system would greatly benefit the businesses that received the cargo. The plan was also designed to preserve the jobs of the workers. Suggestions were also made concerning dock improvements and future projects.

It is 30 years oAfter the flood of 1966, UNESCO promoted an International Campaign for the Safeguard of Venice. As part of this campaign a catalog of all churches, convents and palaces was developed. The paper catalog has been very useful over the years and has become a sort of "treasure" in itself. It is 30 years old and needs to be computerized and updated. The studden will do just that. The goal is to produce a computerized catalog of alla Venetian chuches (about 100) based on the existing paper catalog, on a past project by WPI students, and on field work for updates, including a GIS and series of web pages.The problem addressed in this project was the fact that there were 55 pedestals in Venice, none ofwhich were catalogued in any way, or systemetized in order of their importance for restoration. The goal of this project is to continue the cataloguing of public outdoor art for the city of Venice, focusing on its flagstaff pedestals. This goal was achieved by locating every pedestal in the city. The necessary information gathered was divided into objective elements, which were physical characteristics, and subjective elements, including cultural values. Once this information was found, a prioritization of the pedestals was then developed based on the state of conservation information, and all historical and cultural information for each pedestal. Then a cataloguing system was developed including the location, pictures of the pedestal, a prioritization of pedestals for the restoration process, and the raw state of conservation data for each side of the pedestal. Also, suggestions for re-introducing pedestals not currently in use were made. The society would greatly benefit from the utilization of a historically and culturally significant flag system.The city of Venice is aware that maintenance of the canals is essential to the survival of the city. Emergency closures brought about by a lack of planning not only cause traffic problems, but make maintenance less efficient. The goal of this project was to produce the design for a decision support computer program for the Comune di Venezia to use in the scheduling of canal maintenance. To achieve this goal, the project team analyzed, corrected and organized the existing data. Then they added another set of data and entered it all into a database. Once the data was organized they began the designing process. They decided to use a visual interface based system. The resulting system could analyze the entered data to maximize traffic flow and maintenance speed, as well as provide cost estimates for the repairs. Many recommendations are made in areas including the parking of boats, the measuring of sediment, the condition of the canal walls, and the collection of the dimensions and location of the docks. Information can be found in the following areas: -The canal history of Venice -General information on DSS -A developed DSS screen by screen explanation -Description of boat typeshLVAL lJOur project focused on the monitoring and analysis of the cargo delivery system in the sestieri of San Polo, Santa Croce, and Dorsoduro in Venice, Italy. We located and evaluated every dock in three sestieri, while monitoring Our project focused on the monitoring and analysis of the cargo delivery system in the sestieri of San Polo, Santa Croce, and Dorsoduro in Venice, Italy. We located and evaluated every dock in three sestieri, while monitoring the busiest docks. From this we were able to determine the location, type and amount of cargo, and time these deliveries occurred. Also, we were able to use our data to recommend alternate routes in the event of canal closures.This project, sponsored by UNESCO, is an analysis of the canal wall damage and sewer holes of the Sestiere of Castello in Venice, Italy. A database of previously catalogued data was checked for accuracy and for increases in damage size. Any unrecorded holes or damages were also catalogued at this time. From the information we obtained in the field, an in depth analysis was performed revealing correlations between various factors present in the canals and canal wall damage. For example: sediment buildup Vs traffic. The amount of sewage output into each canal was also calculated and from this information the canals with highest concentrations of sewage could be determined. Recommendations were made to provide possible solutions to the problems of sewage disposal and canal wall damage.This project provided the Province of Venice with information on traffic flow and its effects on the Lagoon surrounding the island of Venice. Data was gathered at various sites around the Lagoon and analyzed. New and modified routes for public transit and methods to regulate and police traffic are discussed. Finally, a standard for future boat counts that will take place in the Lagoon is provided.The purpose of this project was to analyze the bridges of Venice in the sestieri of Dorsoduro, Santa Croce and San Polo. This analysis included documenting and evaluating various physical dimensions and observations on the conditions of each bridge, as well as collecting data on the flow of pedestrian traffic and cargo deliveries over selected bridges. From this we created a comprehensive catalog, which contains the measurements collected, as well as photographs of each bridge, and a map of the location. Appropriate thematic maps and graphs detailing the accessibility, conditions, and traffic flow of bridges were constructed using the data we collected. It is expected that the data collected for this project will benefit Insula S.p.A. in various ways, including, but not limited to, providing information that will aid them in the process of restoring bridges, allowing them to plan appropriate detours for pedestrians while renovations are taking place, and helping with the issues of handicapped accessibility.This study, sponsored by the Palazzo Ducale, is a cooperative effort between the WPI project group and the Palazzo Ducale, a Civic Museum of Venice. These efforts include the development of cataloging and labeling systems for all of the museum exhibits and the development of improved communications between the museum management and the public through a web page and a visitor survey. Based on the analysis of the data gathered, we offered suggestions for the implementation of these developed programsuLVAL N  The Palazzo Ducale is a civic museum of Venice, Italy.

To fulfill a need of the Palazzo Ducale, a computerized database was developed of the Palazzo Ducale s armory collection. This important resource will help the Palazzo Ducale as well as interested scholars. To facilitate long-term planning and enhance the visitor experience, information was collected covering important museum characteristics via two surveys. This project contributed to the enhancement of the visitor experience at the Palazzo Ducale.This project has contributed to the efficiency and effectiveness with which soil information is organized and studied in Venice, Italy by computerizing soil core sample data collected by several geotechnical companies. A database was designed to store the data in such a way as to allow the soil information to be readily accessible. After this computerization was complete, a map of all soil test locations was developed, in which the pertinent information for each test can be instantly shown by simply selecting the location at which that test was performed.The overall goal for this project was to contribute to the organization of an efficient dredging schedule for the canal system in Venice, Italy. More specifically, we collaborated in the validation of a sediment model designed to predict the flow and accumulation of sediment in the canals. Location and status of sewer outlets and wall damage in the sestiere of Cannaregio were documented and the previously unresearched topic of the contribution of masonry debris to sediment was investigated.Venice is one of the most visited cities in the world. About 11 million tourists go there every year. Because Venice has a limited amount of space and hotel prices are also relatively expensive, many tourists spend only the day and leave at night. The number of this kind of tourist, excursionists, is not known. In an attempt to estimate the yearly number of excursionists in Venice, this project was completed at WPI s Venice Project Center for the Azienda di Promozione Turistica (APT), which is responsible for the management of tourist flow in the entire Venetian Lagoon.The intent of this project was to contribute to the preservation of the churches of Venice. The goal was to develop a comprehensive catalogue of all the churches of Venice, based on the original catalogue produced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1968. The new catalogue is a searchable database with updated information that is accessible from the World Wide Web. To achieve this goal there were three main objectives: computerization of the existing catalogue, updating the catalogue, and the creation of an Internet version of the catalogue so that the information may be distributed the world over.This project, sponsored by WPI s University Relations, illustrates how Venice and its participants are influenced by the Venice Project Center. The history of Venice and the VPC was documented, and recommendations were made for presentation through an exhibit, publications and web site. A database was created containing information and descriptions on each project completed between 1988 and 1998. This project will serve as the foundation for the Venice Project Center s 10th Anniversary celebration planned for the summer of 1999.N\ KJ%IGFWECBBYA,@ E 2001The Management and Maintenance of the Venetian Verde PubblicoMatt Bennett Elisabeth Premo Jarod TavaresJohn Zeugner Fabio CarreraCity of Venice, Environment Department@=`E2001}}}OE 2001The Reutilization of the Minor Islands of the Venetian LagoonNickie Buzzell Amanda Connors Seth Merkel Chris O'MalleyFCV01IJohn Zeugner Fabio CarreraCity of Venice, Environment Department@>AY& E2001O[jE 2000An Assessment of the State of Tourism in VeniceRussell W.
