Carlo Scarpa - March 2025 a+u

Italian architect and designer Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978) left a huge mark not only on architecture but also on a wide range of design fields. His success in his field developed from those moments when he devoted himself to the study of the various techniques of construction. Whether in glassware or museum design, in the use of materials or those involved in essential building skills, what seems to have first seized his attention was the creative limitations implicit in them. This issue is a reprint of an extra edition of the magazine on Scarpa that first appeared in October 1985. Revived 40 years after its initial publication, it once again celebrates the complete picture of Scarpa’s designs.
