Carlo Scarpa was an Italian architect and designer celebrated for his meticulous detailing, material sensitivity, and layered approach to space. Working primarily in the Veneto region, he restored historic buildings and designed exhibitions, gardens, and interiors with an unparalleled craftsmanship.
Scarpa’s work combines concrete, stone, wood, glass, and metal in sophisticated assemblies where joints, thresholds, and transitions are expressed rather than concealed. Steps, platforms, and apertures unfold as choreographed sequences.
His renovations—such as the Museo di Castelvecchio—demonstrate how contemporary interventions can clarify and honor historical fabric.
