Experience Description
Journey Through Vacation Architecture in the City of Vacations
BikeandGo, in collaboration with the non-profit cultural association "Raggi e ArchiTetture - Ville di Lignano," has organized this splendid tour of historic villas!
This bike tour will take you to admire contemporary or recent architectural forms that have made Lignano Pineta famous, created in the 1950s as an exclusive vacation destination for affluent tourists seeking relaxation in the quiet and privacy of the pine forest.
We will explore mid-20th-century architecture in Lignano, designed by architects from IUAV - Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia - and other professionals aligned with this style, creating works of great interest that serve as references for future generations. Notably, some of these architects’ theses were projects for seaside houses.
The villas, often located at different elevations due to sand dunes, are set within the pine forest, such as Villa Paiani by Paolo Pascolo (1956-57) or Casa Christoff by Gianni Avon (1956-57). Others evoke local architectural types like the casoni in the nearby lagoon, such as Villa Sordi (1958) by Aldo Bernardis, where architecture and nature remain in perfect harmony.
In the mid-20th century, prefabricated concrete panels were experimented with, used in some buildings like the "treno" and Villa Sinisgalli (1954-1955), both by Marcello d'Olivo. Modern architecture is exemplified by Claudio Nardi with the Sbaiz villas (1994-2000). These projects collectively represent a heritage to be respected and cherished.
