Our goals are two:<br \/>\n&#8211; to enhance the understanding of the city, the lagoon, and its region as an on-going process of change and transformation over time,<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0to communicate new knowledge about place and space to the public through portable devices and on the Visualizing Venice website.<br \/>\nOur research is based on archival and printed sources (documents, cartography, images) from which we generate three-dimensional models and animations that address questions of change and transformation. Begun in 2009, Visualizing Venice is collaboration between Duke University, the Universit\u00e0 Iuav di Venezia (Iuav) and the Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Padova. The team now consists of approximately 30 faculty, post-docs and graduate students. Several of our initiatives involve teaching undergraduate students about the history of Venice through the vehicle of mapping and modeling projects and developing undergraduate-graduate research teams such as the VIVA initiative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_81695\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hF339Ozq21M?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=0&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mission<\/h2>\n<p>Visualizing Venice is educational and experimental.
