Carlo Scarpa

Carlo Scarpa is an architect who I have been looking at for a while so I thought that I would a blog entry on him. He was Italian and he lived from 1906-1978, as well as being an architect he was also a glass and furniture designer. 2 of his most famous works were probably the Oliveti show room st marks square Venice, Italy and the Brion cemetery near Treviso in Italy. He is most famous for his detailing in every thing he designed, most of his works are mainly focused on the interior of buildings, like in the Querini Stampalia museum in Venice, Italy.
