Aerotrope were technical collaborators for ‘Gateway to Venice's Waterway’, a joint creative collaboration between the Norman Foster Foundation and Porsche as part of Porsche's "The Art of Dreams" series. The Gateway to Venice's Waterway provides a practical yet aesthetic response to the current transport challenges facing the Italian port city. The 37-metre-long architectural installation acts as a gateway to new electric means of transportation on land and water. During the opening week of the Biennale water bikes (Schiller bikes) and electric sports boats (Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air) will be used as emission-free mobility solutions. Our team attended the opening in May 2025 of this beautiful realisation of Lord Norman Foster's vision.
The project is led by the Norman Foster Foundation, Michael Mauer and Ragnar Schulte from Porsche, Miguel Kreisler from Empty-BAU; and Christopher Hornzee-Jones from Aerotrope Ltd.
