Carlo Scarpa

The celebrated examination of the life and works of the esteemed Italian modernist master, now available again in a classic format. Carlo Scarpa's work has challenged and continues to challenge the established notions of modern architecture. While several books have been published about his work, none have matched the breadth and depth of this monograph by Robert McCarter, who is known for his meticulously researched, experience-based, and jargon-free accounts of key figures in modern architecture. This book is the definitive study of Scarpa's numerous achievements, including works such as the Canova Museum, the Castelvecchio Museum, and the Brion Cemetery, to name just a few.
