Amina Chouaïri (She/Her) PhD Student

"I am committed to make the Venice Lagoon a better place to live in the near future"

Water Experience

My research focuses on the sense of community derived by the proximity with a water body: the concept of Water Community can refer to such identification. My PHD thesis focuses on Nature Restoration projects in Wet Environment, understanding their complexity, limits and, sometimes, contradictions. I am a Landscape Architect living and working in Venice (IT) while focussing on the Venice Lagoon’s climate and ecological crisis. I am affiliated with Università Iuav di Venezia and collaborating with a local NGO to address the topics mentioned above.
