卡洛•斯卡帕的作品挑战了，并将继续挑战公认的现代建筑概念。虽然已经出版了好几本关于他的作品的书，但没有一本的广度和深度能接近罗伯特•麦卡特的这本专著，他以对现代建筑界关键人物的介绍而闻名，他的介绍没有难懂的行话，且都经过仔细的研究，以经验为基础。本书是研究斯卡帕众多成就的权威之作，包括在卡诺瓦博物馆、卡斯特维尔奇奥博物馆和布里昂公墓等地的作品。

The acclaimed survey of the life and works of the celebrated Italian modernist master, available again in a classic format

The work of Carlo Scarpa challenged, and continues to challenge, accepted notions of modern architecture. While several books have been published on his work, none has approached the breadth and depth of this monograph by Robert McCarter, who is celebrated for his meticulously researched, experientially based, and jargon-free accounts of key figures in modern architecture. This book is the definitive study of Scarpa's many accomplishments, including such works at the Canova Museum, the Castelvecchio Museum, and the Brion Cemetery, among others.
