I had a splinter time in Verona and casually I met last year students from Russia and Nicaragua in Castelvecchio, we discussed having fun about Carlo Scarpa I was with a black dress, velvet elegant jacket and colorfull shoes runner (detail!). I “known” Carlo Scarpa because I worked at 48 ° Biennale d’arte di Venezia with Venezuelan artist my friend Victor Lucèna, exhibition spatial inside a Venezuela Pavilion ( I’ll return with a post for this great experience with master Victor). In Scarpa there’s a conjunction from history e contemporary vision, essential line and gravity combined with sapience and rigors. Carlo Scarpa is studied from many architect around a world, he moves from pure line and detail; same approach different scale. Scarpa born and work in strong presence of roman area and natural stone with detail (fossil called amonite). You can found amonite in every floor stone in Rosso di Verona. Scarpa worked with detail!
Architect with love for detail loved draw! many sketches and projects the Scarpa study produced.

The attention to design and detail is also in the mater treated, metal, concrete, plaster and wood are never ordinary.
The reinterpretation of the past there is always. He moves from pure line and detail; same approach different scale.
The lesson is to love the details, history, matter, essential line and gravity.
