About Buildings + Cities

89 — Carlo Scarpa — 3/4 — Castelvecchio, Invented History


Listen Later

The Castelvecchio Museum (1959-73) in Verona is an elaborate spatial narrative, weaving together historic structures and ingenious design elements to create a fragmentary and multi-layered story about the site, the city, and the objects contained in it. The project was Carlo Scarpa's largest and longest running, and we go through it at some length.
