520 8  From the myth of Arcadia through to the twenty-first 
       century, ideas about sustainability, how we imagine better
       urban environments, remain persistently relevant, and 
       raise recurring questions. How do cities evolve as complex
       spaces nurturing both urban creativity and the fortuitous 
       art of discovery, and by which mechanisms do they foster 
       imagination and innovation? While past utopias were 
       conceived in terms of an ideal geometry, contemporary 
       exemplary models of urban design seek technological 
       solutions of optimal organisation. The Venice Variations 
       explores Venice as a prototypical city that may hold 
       unique answers to the ancient narrative of utopia. Venice 
       was not the result of a preconceived ideal but the 
       pragmatic outcome of social and economic networks of 
       communication. Its urban creativity, though, came to 
       represent the quintessential combination of place and 
       institutions of its time.
