	Carlo Scarpa - Biography
		Carlo Scarpa was born in 1906 in Venezia, Italy.
		Scarpa's designs are, in fact, mostly provisional arrangements and the involuntary memory that emerges in his drawings points continually back to the past.
		Against this Scarpa sets the volatility of his own culture and his sympathy with things; his designs seek to redeem his metier as a state of freedom from time, which might be regarded as primitive if this were sufficient to express its initiatory element.

	EDN European Design Network
		Carlo Scarpa grew up in Venice in the company of the artists and intellectuals he encountered at the Biennale and the Accademia di Belle Arti where he obtained his diploma in 1926.
		It was for these projects that Carlo Scarpa obtained his greatest general recognition, including the 1956 Olivetti prize, the Gran Premio for the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibition at the 12th Milan Triennale in 1960 and the IN-ARCH prize in 1962 for the Palazzo Abatellis museum project in Palermo.
		Carlo Scarpa worked on a great many projects, many of which were never realised but there is a record of these in the drawings numbering over twenty thousand in the Carlo Scarpa archive in Trevignano (Treviso).

	Carlo Scarpa, Italian Architect /Artfocus
		Carlo Scarpa's architectural drawings in colour pencil on cardboard which has acquired a rosy hue, are characterized by a fluidity and a freedom unique for what are essentially templates for work to be done.
		Scarpa's drawings, which possess the intricacy of art works are accompanied by his student Guido Guidiís photographs of the complex architectural restorations and original realizations (such as a new exhibition gallery at the Antonio Canova museum), Scarpa undertook in Italy.
		Scarpa's acceptance of the past revisited in modern terms, his (Venetian) fascination with textures and the mechanics of detail, make him appear as a personality of reference for post-modern esthetics.

	Time on His Side \| Metropolis Magazine \| October 1999
		Carlo Scarpa's work is as alive to the future as it is to the past.
		But Scarpa was much more than a Modernist unafraid of the past: It could be argued that the unique conditions of practicing in Venice made him one of the first postindustrial architects to shift paradigms from simplicity to the complexity that has characterized design in the late twentieth century.
		Scarpa designed locally rather than universally; he accepted the unique, the peculiar, and the accidental rather than demanding the general, the normative, and the ideal.

		The restoration of the Ca’ Fóscari (1936–7), part of the University of Venice, was the first significant work in his own right and already shows the happy acceptance of historical artefacts in design and the skill to complement it with episodic, intensely personal interventions.
		Scarpa was set apart from the polemic of the period by his philosophy, which ranged from occasional ironic counterpoint to diffuse over-seriousness, with a mastery of materials and an emphatic delight in discontinuity.
