Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) was an influential Italian architect and designer whose handling of materials, craftsmanship, and detail made him a major figure in 20th-century architecture. Written by Swiss and Italian experts, this book compares Scarpa's aesthetic experiments with stained glass in Venice during the 1920s and 1930s with the work of several important 20th-century Swiss artists: Edmond Bille, Bodjol, Charles Hindenlang, Felix Hoffmann, Burkhard Mangold, Robert Schär, Otto Staiger, Hans Stocker and Peter Travaglini, among others. Special attention is paid to Scarpa's early experimentation with little-known projects for the Venetian glassworks M.V.M. Cappellin & C.: a set of stained-glass windows that reveal key aspects of his emerging approach to the material, light and craftsmanship.
- Dedicated to one of Italy's most important 20th-century architects and designers
- Focuses on Scarpa's stained glass designs, little known to date
- Links Scarpa's early experiments in the decorative arts with his later architectural achievements

Une attention particulière est accordée aux premières expérimentations de Scarpa avec des projets peu connus pour la verrerie vénitienne M.V.M.
