Very Good Minus (VG-). Codice articolo 46702
Carlo Scarpa's rearrangement of the ground floor and garden of the sixteenth century Palazzo Querini Stampalia is a lesson in contemporary intervention, demonstrating the architect's supreme ability to weave the new into the old. Influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, Japanese architecture and the Venetian tradition, Scarpa combines a mastery of form with an inventive juxtaposition of materials. One notable feature of the foundation is its garden, which uses water in an inspired way. Water is also present inside the building where Scarpa introduced the rising and falling of the Venice tides. The insertion of new exhibition spaces into the rooms of the palace results not only in a perfect interaction of tradition and modernity, but also a reinterpretation of the phenomenon of Venice, city of Scarpa's birth.
