Items related to Carlo Scarpa: Architecture and Design
To mark the first centenary of the birth of Carlo Scarpa, the great master of twentieth-century architecture, all his extant works are being presented for the first time in a kind of 'general catalogue'. This big, illustrated volume, which is the result of careful scientific research aimed at identifying all the works and their correct date, visually describes the work of the maestro, thanks to a specific photographic campaign, but also includes short descriptive pieces by some of his more noted scholars.

Review:
Carlo Scarpa combined a sensitivity to traditional materials and craftsmanship with an abstract sensibility. Scarpa s work in Venice, Verona, and surrounding towns uses an evocative layering of walls, spaces, geometric ornamentation, and finely crafted stone and metal to evoke an image of modernity where the human hand is aided rather than replaced by the machine All offer a brilliant vision of cultural transformation that is worth seeking out as a complement, or antidote, to the usual trek from ancient monument to ancient monument. "The Boston Phoenix"

The 20th Century Italian master Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) emerged from a Venetian tradition that merged art, craft, intellect, and, especially in his case, architecture Photos in this book make clear that Scarpa s works may need reviving, lest they too pass away. "Architecture"

For this chronological presentation of Scarpa s five-decade career, spanning 1932 to 1978, the photographers visited all 58 of the Italian master s completed structures (all but one in Italy), creating a gorgeous set of images in the process. Scarpa was often called upon to integrate his architecture into and around existing historic buildings, and the delicacy of these interventions still stand out. "Metropolis Magazine""
