Venice&#8217;s ancient rope factory, the Corderie, is one of the most striking places in the Venetian Arsenal, an area of former shipyards where the fleet of La Serenissima Republic of Venice was built and repaired until the end of the 18th century.
In the Corderie, nautical ropes and hawsers were woven from the hemp that was imported from the Black Sea or harvested in the Venetian countryside. The rope factory was established in the early 14th century and the building, which stands today, was built between 1579 and 1585 based on a project by Antonio Da Ponte, sculptor and architect of the Rialto Bridge. The factory ceased its activities with the end of the Maritime Republic in 1797 and the building was turned into a warehouse.
At present, the Corderie is used mostly as a scenic exhibition venue. The first exhibition was held in 1980 for the first edition of the International Architecture Exhibition. Since then, it also hosted the exhibitions of the Venice Biennale, one of the most important art events in the world.
Disano supplied the Astro LED spotlights in a cutting-edge lighting system made and installed by the Edison company.
The lighting system was created with energy sustainability in mind, reducing electricity consumption by 70% with only the best available technologies on the market. The Astro LED spotlights were chosen because they are capable of meeting the challenges posed by such a demanding and complex lighting project.
The primary need was to ensure that these very large indoor spaces could be illuminated with the best light possible and benefit from the excellent visual comfort of the latest generation LED sources. The building, in fact, is over 12 meters (40 feet) tall, with a roof made of wooden trusses and beams, 316 m (1,037 ft) long and 21 m (69 ft) wide, including three naves with 42 brick columns, divided into two parallel rows.
Furthermore, Astro&#8216;s advanced LED sources ensure high colour rendering, an essential parameter for lighting up a structure of extraordinary historical value and destined to host Venice&#8217;s prestigious Biennale exhibitions.
What&#8217;s more, the new installation uses a wireless lighting management system supplied by Disano made especially for this project. The system consists of the luminaire, the DALI driver and one of the basicDIM Wireless modules. With this technology, it is possible to control the lighting fixtures with an app (4remote BT) or from a user interface, without any masonry work.
The Bluetooth connection enables control of each lighting fixture, turning them on/off, dimming the lights, grouping luminaires, and creating light scenes. The ease with which the brightness and colour of each fixture can be adjusted makes the lighting setup much more functional and versatile than previous technologies.
The lighting installation allows a multifunctional use of the rooms, which is particularly important for a space as large as the one in this historical Venetian building.
For the outdoor area of the Corderie, Rodio LED and Mini Rodio LED luminaires were used, offering an amazing evening view of the ancient factory, with lights that respect the colours and integrity of the original materials.
The spectacular Venetian building can now take full advantage, both internally and externally, of top quality, environmentally sustainable, and remotely controllable lights thanks to the excellence of Disano&#8217;s lighting products.
