Carlo Scarpa

This acclaimed book pays homage to Carlo Scarpa, the most poetic Italian architectural master of the 20th century. Scarpa is known for his extreme attention to detail and his skillful use of materials such as concrete, brass, glass, and water to express powerful ideas. This book features some of his most iconic works, including the Olivetti Showroom in Venice, the Brion Cemetery in San Vito, and the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona. It clearly explains how he transformed modernism into a visual language imbued with the warmth of craftsmanship and the depth of history.
