About Buildings + Cities

88 — Carlo Scarpa — 2/4 — Querini Stampalia, Venetian Sci-Fi


Listen Later

We talked about Carlo Scarpa's work at the Querini Stampalia foundation (1959-63), a palazzo-museum in Venice. Scarpa's interventions are focussed on the ground floor spaces, including a new entrance bridge, galleries and courtyard garden. There's a very distinctive mixture of restoration and fantasy, historical narration and occasional touches of grooviness.
