Items related to Carlo Scarpa: The Message of the Structure
Synopsis
- Focuses specifically and in depth on the structural designs of Carlo Scarpa's architectural designs
In Carlo Scarpa’s work (Venice, Italy, 1906 - Sendai, Japan, 1978), architectural design is primarily based on the structural constraints he sets himself. The structure is the object of the design, and it takes on a singular expressiveness. The structure is very present, in subtle and sometimes unusual ways.
Numerous studies have been produced on the works of Carlo Scarpa, but none has focused specifically and in depth on the structural design of his projects. Yet, the definition of the structure is specific to each of his projects and to each situation within the project. For Scarpa, each structural decision is a subtle and very precise story that defines the project and gives it its identity.
In the course of this study, structure will be examined in several of Carlo Scarpa’s works in order to highlight the significant use he made of it in each project and to demonstrate the poetic element contained within.

cartonato. Condition: nuovo. Ill. a colori nel testo Carlo Scarpa (Venezia, Italia, 1906-Sendai, Giappone, 1978), architetto e designer italiano di fama internazionale, è il più famoso degli architetto veneziani del XX secolo. Nel suo lavoro, dallo stile personalissimo, Carlo Scarpa mescola epoche, materiali, texture: antico e moderno, pietra e metallo, liscio e ruvido. Grande risalto è dato alle linee, che sono la spina dorsale della suo opera e che rendono manifesta la struttura del progetto architettonico. Nelle opere di Carlo Scarpa, infatti, è la concezione strutturale all'origine di tutto, e dunque meritevole di una particolare evidenza, talvolta sottile, talvolta singolare. Il presente volume approfondisce questo tema: passando in rassegna alcune sue creazioni - la Gypsotheca canoviana di Possagno, il Museo di Castelvecchio e la Banca Popolare a Verona, l'immobile residenziale a Contrà del Quartiere a Vicenza - viene evidenziato il potenziale espressivo che assume in ciascuna il progetto strutturale, nonché la componente poetica che ne deriva. Il volume è corredato da tavole cronologiche e approfondimenti. Seller Inventory # 008840
