Carlo
Scarpa: The Craft of Architecture
by Carlo Scarpa, Peter Noever, Tadao Ando
Book Description:
For almost 30 years, the Italian architect Carlo Scarpa collaborated
with the well-known Venetian cabinetmaker Saverio Anfodillo to construct
his designs. The Craft of Architecture documents their work together and
gives a survey of Scarpa's oeuvre, one of the most outstanding of the 20th
century. This publication is informed and instigated by the MAK's 1999
acquisition of a number of design drawings from the cabinetmaker's archives.
These include architectural illustrations for the Museo di Castelvecchio
in Verona, built 1956-1964, the Galleria Querini Stampalia in Venice, built
in 1961-1963, and the Tomba Brion in San Vito di Altivole, built in 1970-1978;
as well as furniture design sketches and wooden models of design details,
some for a table for composer Luigi Nono. The Craft of Architecture presents
for the first time plans, sketches, blueprints, and models from this collection,
complemented by photographs of Scarpa's most important built projects.
Edited by Peter Noever.~Essays by Tadao Ando, Mario Botta, Roberto Gottardi
and Arata Isozaki. ~Interview by Rainald Franz with Saverio Anfodillo.

Carlo
Scarpa: Museo Canoviano, Possagno
by Stefan Buzas, Judith Carmel-Arthur, Richard Bryant, Judith Carmel
Arthur
Synopsis: In a letter from London, dated 9 November 1815, Antonio Canova
wrote: "... Here I am in London, dear and best friend, a wonderful city....
I have seen the marbles arriving from Greece. Of the basreliefs we had
some ideas from engravings, but of the full colossal figures, in which
an artist can display his whole power and science, we have known nothing....
The figures of Phidias are all real and living flesh, that is to say are
beautiful nature itself." With his admiring words for the famous Elgin
Marbles Canova, one of the last great artists embodying the grandlose heritage
of the classical world, gave at the same time an appropriate description
of his own artistic aims. It was his half-brother who decided to assemble
most of Canova's plaster originals and to place them in a museum he had
built in the garden of his brother's home in Possagno, a small village
north of Venice, where the artist saw the light of day on 1 November 1757.
This basilica-like building erected in 1836 now holds the great majority
of Canova's compositions. To commemorate the bicentenary of his birth,
the Venetian authorities decided to have an extension added to the overcrowded
basilica, and they commissioned the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa for
this delicate task. Scarpa composed a small, but highly articulated building
that is in a strong contrast to the Neo-Classical, monumental basilica.
The subtly designed sequence of spaces is unique even among Scarpa's so
many extraordinary museum interiors as the architect was here in the rare
position to compose the spaces as well as the placings of the exhibits.
The placing of the sources of natural light which infuses the plaster surfaces
with the softness of real life is in itself a rare achievement and it took
an equally rare photographer to record such symphonies in white in all
their magic.

by Francesco Dal Co, Carlo Scarpa
Sketches and studies for a villa on Lake Garda, near Verona.

work. Each volume begins with an anecdotal essay by the architect, introducing
the project from a personal, as well as a professional, point of view.
