サンマルコ広場を訪れると、サンマルコ寺院とドゥカーレ宮殿に目が行きますが、広場を囲む「地」の建築があってこその素晴らしさ。
In Piazza San Marco, Basilica di San Marco and Palazzo Ducale draw all eyes, but its splendor depends on the contribution of the "ground" architectures surrounding Piazza.
See Piazza San Marco, Basilica di San Marco and the bell tower through the colonnade from the corridor at the west end of Piazza.
建築家サンソヴィーノの計画した広場とそれを囲む建築（一部は後補）は、ベネチアルネサンス建築の代表で、それを「地」と形容するのも、気が引けますが、控えめに見せることで、場全体を意識した俯瞰的な視点を実現しています。サンマルコ寺院より高さを抑え、洗練されたデザインの白い列柱は、延々と繰り返すことで、静かな白い面となり、サンマルコ寺院を浮かび上がらせます。
Ｌ型という特殊な形の広場。向かい合う面は平行ではないし、広場とサンマルコ寺院の軸にも微妙なずれ。海に開き、開放的な南端から、列柱に囲い込まれた西端まで、「開くこと」から「閉じること」へ移り変わります。動くに連れ、見え方が変わり、列柱の繰り返しを単調に感じないのも、きっとそれ故。さらに、サンソヴィーノが、広場を拡げる際に周りの建築から切り離し、ランドマークとして自立させた鐘楼の見え方も移ろい、動いている感覚がいっそう鮮やかになります。
自分のデザインを強調せず、黒子としての役割を意識したサンソヴィーノは、建築家として偉い！。ルネサンスが、ルネサンス絵画のように、全体の構図と中を動く人の関係から場を考える建築家を生んだのかもしれません。
The architect Sansovino's plan for the square and the architecture is representative of the Venetian Renaissance, so I am awkward to describe it as "ground," but his design expressed modestly was conscious of the place from a bird's eye view. Its height is lower than that of the Basilica, and the white columns create a quiet white surface by the effect of repeating endlessly, and Basilica di San Marco comes into view.
Piazza San Marco has a peculiar L-shape, each side facing other side is not parallel, and the axis of Piazza is slightly deviating from Basilica di San Marco. As they walk from the south end, which is open to the sea, to the west end, which columns surround, the change from "opening" to "closing" is generated. Since the view changes, the repetition of the columns doesn't look monotonous. The change in the position to see the bell tower, which was detached from the surrounding architecture by Sansovino and became a freestanding landmark, makes their sense of movement more vivid.
Sansovino, who was conscious of his role as an enhancer, was a great architect!
The Renaissance might give birth to an architect who thought of the place from a whole composition and the perspective of the people moving within it.
