There is by now a considerable list of books concerning the work of Carlo Scarpa. Among them, this new critical guidebook, written by Sergio Los, one of the leading scholars of Scarpa's work, certainly stands out as the indispensable travelling companion for those setting out to explore the creations of this remarkable Venetian architect. The introductory essay, which provides a critical analysis of the essential features of Scarpa's approach to "doing" architecture, is followed by a complete catalogue of the buildings and projects that Scarpa actually built, along with the fundamental information required to understand their history, and to tour them as they now stand, as well as an inventory of Scarpa's unbuilt projects. This book is a supremely useful tool for those who wish to learn, "live," from and about the remarkable artistic endeavors and adventures in building of one of the masters of contemporary architecture.
