Carlo Scarpa Villa Ottolenghi

One hundred years after the birth of Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978), a book that documents the entire genesis of the design of one of his most important single-family houses

A detailed analysis of Villa Ottolenghi at Bardolino, one of the most emblematic of the residential works by one of the greatest Italian architects of the second half of the 20th century. Scarpa’s taste for complex volumetric overlays and intersections, already explored in the Veritti house and the project for Villa Zoppas, takes on particular poetic force in Villa Ottolenghi. The book documents the history of the project from the first sketches to the finished work, analyzing the models and drawings, the worksite photographs and the specially developed solutions
