The definitive monograph on the celebrated Italian architect Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978), unmatched by any other publication on the modern master
Klappentext zu „Carlo Scarpa “
Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) is a unique figure in the Modern movement and his work in fact challenged, and continues to challenge, accepted notions of modern architecture. While several books have been published on the subject of Scarpa, the majority narrow in their focus, no comprehensive monograph has been produced to date and certainly not approaching the breadth and depth proposed here by Robert McCarter, who has developed a reputation and following for his meticulously researched, experentially-based, and jargon-free accounts of key figures in Modern architecture. This book will provide the definitive study of Scarpa's many accomplishments, including such works at the Canova Museum, the Castelvechhio Museum, the Brion Cemetery, among others.
Features a complete list of works and in-depth 'walk-throughs' of 15 key projects, including the Central Pavilion in the Giardini of the Venice Biennale, Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice, and the Olivetti Showroom in St Mark's Square, Venice.

Rezension zu „Carlo Scarpa “
With 350 images and drawings, "Carlo Scarpa" documents the architect's dramatic modernism - the sweeping red staircase of his Banca Popolare in Verona, his sleek concrete-and-wood Olivetti showroom in Venice - even as it celebrates his poetic vision?--ELLE Decor
