Su arquitectura ha sido definida como "la más culta y aristocrática del siglo XX italiano", y sin embargo está arraigada en la experiencia cotidiana del pequeño taller. Artista singular, poeta auténtico, paga el precio de esa total autonomía con la discontinuidad de su producción. Este libro de pequeño formato presenta de manera compacta toda su obra.

"Carlo Scarpa was a virtuoso of light, a master of detail, a connoissur of materials. In his lifetime he was often dismissed as "merely" and artist who also wanted to build. Today, however, it is clear that his own brand of Modernism made him one of the 20th-century architectural greats. Scarpa taught at the Venice architectural faculty. Over a period of three decades he designed exhibitions in London, Paris, Rome, and Milan, and regularly for the Bienniale in Venice, his native city. The major contributions to his fame, though, were museum projects such as the Gipsoteca Canoviana in Possagno and the Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona"--Front flap
