Carlo Scarpa has long been recognized as one of the most important architects of the 20th century. His exceptional ability to utilize craftsmanship, paired with his respect for the past, resulted in an architecture unlike any of its time or our time. This book, which coincides with the first major exhibition of Scarpa's work outside of Italy (to take place in the spring of 1999 at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal), explores crucial aspects of Scarpa's work in architecture through the careful examination of major projects involving interventions into the historic fabric of the cities and landscapes of the Veneto region. A specially commissioned photo essay by renowned photographer Guido Guidi is at the heart of the volume. Guidi's 72 color photographs present evocative sequences -- visual journeys -- of Scarpa's architecture. Complementing the new photographs are discussions of ten of the architect's masterworks, illustrated with powerful drawings from various archives, which are seen together for the first time. These ten important projects are the Palazzo Abatellis, the Canova plastercast gallery at Possagno, the Castelvecchio Museum, the Veritti house, the Olivetti showroom, the Querini Stampalia Foundation, the Gavina showroom, the Balboni house, the Banca Popolare di Verona, and the Brion Tomb.
