Carlo
Scarpa

Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978) elevated architecture to an art form through his exquisite attention to detail and mastery of materials. His most renowned works include the Brion Cemetery, the Castelvecchio Museum renovation, and the Olivetti Showroom in Venice, all demonstrating his talent for blending modernism with historical sensitivity. Scarpa was deeply influenced by Venetian heritage and Japanese aesthetics, incorporating water, light, and handcrafted materials into his compositions. Though often overlooked during his lifetime, he is now celebrated for his precise, sculptural approach to space, which continues to inspire architects seeking a dialogue between craft and contemporary design.
