Scarpa was an Italian architect and designer known for his extraordinary craftsmanship. He loved combining glass, stone, concrete, bronze, and wood. He treated materials almost like a jeweler would, cutting, layering, and joining them with visible, expressive precision. Much of his work is in and around Venice. He taught at the IUAV in Venice and often drew inspiration from Venetian history, Japanese design, and modernism. A fine copy bound in black cloth, spine lettering white, in a near fine unclipped pictorial dust jacket with just a hint of toning to white edges.
