Carlo Scarpa was a Venetian architect whose designs are deeply sensitive to the changes of time, tides, seasons, materiality and history. His masterfully-detailed work has captured my imagination since I was a goofy first year architecture student.
More than all the Madonna col Bambinos in the world, we had to visit as many of Scarpa's works as we could. Thus we set off on a road trip from Venice to Verona.
