Carlo Scarpa: Architecture and Design

A different kind of monograph on the great maestro. Unique views of his masterpieces and quotes revealing his humility.

this is a beautiful book and a thorough account of Scarpa's work. I think it's indispensable for a Scarpa lover.

the legend!

I recently was exposed to his work and was amazed how ahead of his time he was. A brilliant designer and his attention to detail. A beautifully photographed book.

Catalog of all the works but.... photos of Gavina showroom, Olivetti showroom and the Venezuela Pavilion in the Giardini are quite poor. I assume that when preparing this book these projects were not in their best state (some functioning as silly stores for silly merchandise). Now these buildings have been restored and emptied out and mainly functioning as museum/exhibiton spaces, so in other more recent books you will find better photos.

Beautiful book on one of the most poetic architects of the 20th century. Scarpa's genius and grace is show with grace and dignity.
