Querini Stampalia Foundation

Querini Stampalia Foundation (1961-63)

Design by Carlo Scarpa,

Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) is an architect whose development draws on deep roots in the Veneto-region and on traditional forms and construction methods.
Galleria Querini Stampalia, (Venice 1961-1963) is the restoration of the ground-floor of an old Venetian palace and integration of a short garden for use as gallerie and exibition space.

Carlo Scarpa paid great attention to detail, often using several different materials simultaneously. He explored tiny universes, studying the relationships among all the elements involved without losing sight of the project as a whole.
