Carlo Scarpa

About this book

"The work of the Italian architect Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) centers around two issues: context and materiality. Scarpa's dedication to the complex relationships between traditional and future-oriented forms, his eye for details and the wider perspective of site specifity, and the enormous sensitivity he mustered to reconcile function and material challenge our understanding of what modern architecture can be." ""Carlo Scarpa. The Craft of Architecture" is published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name in the MAK, Vienna, a representative survey of the architect's achievements in his cooperation with the cabinetmaker Saverio Anfodillo." "With contributions by Peter Noever, Tadao Ando, Roberto Gottardi, and Arata Isozaki, as well as an interview with Saverio Anfodillo."--BOOK JACKET.
