In a letter from London, dated 9 November 1815, Antonio Canova wrote: '.Here I am in London, dear and best friend, a wonderful city. New Blue Fx Activation Key. I have seen the marbles arriving from Greece. Of the basreliefs we had some ideas from engravings, but of the full colossal figures, in which an artist can display his whole power and science, we have known nothing.The figures of Phidias are all real and living flesh, that is to say are beautiful nature itself.' With his admiring words for the famous Elgin Marbles Canova, one of the last great artists embodying the grandiose heritage of the classical world, gave at the same time an appropriate description of his own artistic aims. It was his half-brother who decided to assemble most of Canova's plaster originals and to place them in a museum he had built in the garden of his brother's home in Possagno, a small village north of Venice, where the artist saw the light of day on 1 November 1757. This basilica-like building erected in 1836 now holds the great majority of Canova's compositions.To commemorate the bicentenary of his birth, the Venetian authorities decided to have an extension added to the overcrowded basilica, and they commissioned the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa for this delicate task.

Scarpa composed a small, but highly articulated building that is in a strong contrast to the Neo-Classical, monumental basilica. The subtly designed sequence of spaces is unique even among Scarpa's so many extraordinary museum interiors as the architect was here in the rare position to compose the spaces as well as the placings of the exhibits.

The placing of the sources of natural light which infuses the plaster surfaces with the softness of real life is in itself a rare achievement and it took an equally rare photographer to record such symphonies in white in all their magic.

♥ Book Title: Carlo Scarpa, Architect ♣ Name Author: Carlo Scarpa, R. Nicholas Olsberg, Guido Guidi, Centre canadien d'architecture ∞ Launching: 1999 ◊ Info ISBN Link: UCSD:0935 ⊗ Detail ISBN code: ⊕ Number Pages: Total sheet ♮ News id: SEY3AQAAIAAJ ☯ Full Synopsis: 'Between 1953 and 1978 the Italian architect Carlo Scarpa produced an incredibly varied range of works that challenge our notions of what modern architecture might be. Foremost in that work was the need to reconcile a wholehearted embrace of the new with the longstanding traditions of local craft and of universal practice to create an architecture that would clearly express its own machine-driven times without abandoning the psychic and sensual forces of place, materiality, and memory. Carlo Scarpa, Architect: Intervening with History illustrates, through abundant reproductions of Scarpa's drawings, the ways the architect created a dialogue with light, space, and architecture within the historic fabric of Italian cities. Presenting these projects as they exist today, the patient eye of contemporary photographer Guido Guidi deepens our understanding of this timely approach to architectural dialogue.

Recent critical appraisals of this Venetian architect have established him as one of the modern masters, particularly in his handling of detail, furnishings, and ornament, which are the focus of this superbly illustrated book. The authors take a close look at what makes Scarpa's work important today. They discuss his interest in imagery, regionalism and the techniques of the artist and craftsman; his fascination with the play of light, air, water, and earth; the ease with which he drew from literature and art; and his translation of these widely varied sources into beams and pillars, joints and molding, fixtures and furniture. Scarpa, combined evocative fragments and vernacular expressions to produce an architecture of sensuality during a time when minimalism was the style of choice. Each of the eight chapters takes up a thematic element - support, connections and links, juncture and articulation, closure and aperture, solid and void, moulding and profiling, surfaces, transparency - and illustrates it with color and black-andA­white photographs and drawings, many previously unpublished. A concluding catalog provides technical information on all the works or details selected to illustrate these thematic elements. Bianca Albertini and Alessandra Bagnoli assisted on a number of projects in Scarpa's studio at Vicenza from 1974 to 1978.
