In the sign of Carlo Scarpa

"One morning in '61 at the Querini, when I asked him that high water would remain outside the palace ... he , looking me in the eye after a pause of waiting: inside, inside high water , as in all over the city. Only it is to contain it, to govern it, to use it as bright and reflective material. You'll see the games of light on yellow and purple stucco ceilings, a wonder!".
Giuseppe Mazzariol, director of the Querini Stampalia Foundation in Venice, recalled that the genesis of the office space redesigned by Carlo Scarpa from the beginning full of light contamination .
Scarpa gave a sign of old and new together, so full of energy precursor, that the momentum has not been exhausted.
As a budding architectural interventions have generated around Valeriano Pastor, Mario Botta and over time have inspired a fascinating comparison with other, diverse languages ?: photograph, video, music, dance.

But also the choreographer Sasha Waltz , the composer Atsuhiko Gondai with cellist Mario Brunello , the photographer Alessandra Chemollo and director Riccardo De Cal .
