Carlo Scarpa: The Complete Buildings

Although little known during his lifetime, Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) has become one of the most revered modern architects over the last fifty years. His passion for integrating the ancient and the modern, the natural and the built environment, and for the qualities of glass, wood and stone, makes him the ideal architect for our times, when the preservation of historic buildings and sensitivity to environmental impact are of supreme importance.

This book provides a balanced introduction to Scarpa's work, taking into account the views of both advocates and critics of his work. Richly illustrated, it allows readers to discover the interplay of light, texture and line created by the Italian architect.
