St Marks Square Venice

The Piazza San Marco is the centre of Venetian life. The square reflects the wealth of Europe’s richest trading city, and it’s resplendent architecture bears the marks of the eastern and western trade that brought this wealth to Venice.

Designer and builder Centuri Chan says: "I was looking forward to making this. It is always fun building a

model of something you have seen in real life. It’s almost like

revisiting that place as you put the model together. While it was

challenging due to the size and scale, it was my favourite model

to build for this exhibition."

"The other interesting point I had to consider is that St Marks Square is not actually a ‘square’, which meant some buildings are at odd angles. I challenged myself to feature these angles in the model."

The Square took Centuri 119 hours and just over 21,000 pieces.
