Carlo Scarpa’s work has challenged—and continues to challenge—the conventions of modern architecture. While numerous books have been written about Scarpa, Robert McCarter’s monograph stands out for its breadth and depth of analysis. The author writes in a clear and accessible style, free of technical jargon, drawing on meticulous research and first-hand experience of the works of key contemporary architects. This publication is the definitive reference on Scarpa’s prolific career, featuring projects such as the Canova Museum, the Castelvecchio Museum, and the Brion Memorial Complex.
