Durante siglos, sus habitantes han aprendido a convivir con el agua mediante canales, puentes, sistemas de cimentación y soluciones diseñadas para proteger la ciudad de las mareas y las inundaciones.
En este vídeo de TED-Ed, Stephanie H. Smith explica cómo la ingeniería hizo posible una de las ciudades más extraordinarias del mundo y por qué mantenerla en pie continúa siendo un enorme desafío.
The incredible engineering of Venice - Stephanie H. Smith
Explore the history of Venice to find out how the infamous floating city was built and how the republic became a hub for trade.
--
To escape Germanic invaders, people fled into the Venetian Lagoon in the 6th century. The settlers set out to tame the mudflats and built a foundation in the marshy maze to support heavier, longer-lasting structures. Little did they know, this system of wood, water, and mud would still be supporting an infamous floating city 1,500 years later. Stephanie H. Smith explores the history of Venice.
