Errrr, if that model would be really built in full-scale (the Zeppelin behind the shoulder gives me a hint how big that would be) we would probably not have to worry about visitors/invaders from outer space anymore:

They would be scared away by the fear that human madness could be contagious…

Venezia is nothing more than a (very costly) tourist trap (and gifted with a Communist mayor, too…), but I must admit that the topic is exotic. Besides, the city is located on the extreme limit of my “EDIT: you are not cleared for that!” area (I live “EDIT: FNORD!”;-knows the place, someone?-).
However, I can’t promise nothing.
What you would like to know/receive, exactly?

ya venezia is a tourist trap, i dont have much interest in that place when i lived in firenze for half a year a few years ago…to make things worse it was pouring rain when i went to venice

i just wanna see what the exhibit itself is like, just curious that’s all, no need to force yourself to go, and plus i doubt they will let u take pictures anyways

Could someone explain to me what this thread is about, please? I don’t understand.

Everything about this thread. I can’t follow it one bit.

Basically, Otaku architecture means the influence of manga/anime/erogame lovers even in the Japanese urban development. The Tokio's commercial district of Akihabara, for example, is today almost entirely devoted to these persons/clients, selling them tons of discounted erogames (among other similar, "cultural", goods), and turning itself, even architectonically, into a true erogame Mecca (although conserving certain "relics of the past", like an elementary school, for example -I'm truly envious of THOSE children...-).
I leave Zeppelin's clarification to Unicorn and Woodelf...
