Best Carlo Scarpa Monograph To Date-

This is the best Carlo Scarpa monograph to date! From my observation, this is the highlights of his previous published works in combination with new unpublished materials. The book contains great photographs of his work, clean images of his beautiful drawings, and historic photographs of his time. The format of the book is also playful but tasteful with a well designed cover. The writing is comprehensive and easy to read with good details of his life in relationship to his work. An absolute must have if you give a dame about Mr. Scarpa, or architecture!
