This tour takes you through the heart of the city, to discover the renovation and conversions projects designed by Carlo Scarpa, a native venetian modern architect with an almost sacred respect for the ancient. The first masterpiece is the Querini Stampalia Foundation, where Scarpa deals with the historical context and forms a special dialectic between the original language of the building and his personal spacial poetic, through great workmanship of the materials. Another must-see is the Olivetti Shop - a renovation project for the company showroom in St. Mark's square - which reflects a masterful attention to details and integration of ancien crafts within a modern aestetic. Palazzina Masieri, where Carlo Scarpa was commissioned to redesign the interior while preserving the building’s external facade on the Grand Canal, is an intriguing project due to its history, which juxtaposes two Masters of twentieth-century architecture: Frank Lloyd Wright and Carlo Scarpa. His posthumous design of the Entrance to the Architectural faculty combines concrete, stone and metal elements in a carefully calibrated composition of forms and parts.
