Carlo Scarpa, born on June 2, 1906, in Venice, Italy, was a renowned Italian architect and designer. His groundbreaking work seamlessly fused traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Scarpa initially gained recognition for his innovative glass designs with Venini & C. in the 1930s. In the post-war era, he expanded into architecture, creating iconic structures like the Olivetti showroom and the Brion Cemetery. Scarpa’s legacy lies in his meticulous attention to detail and the harmonious integration of space, light, and materials. As a professor, he also influenced aspiring architects. Carlo Scarpa passed away on November 28, 1978, leaving behind a lasting impact on the world of architecture and design.
