The Carlo Scarpa Archive at Trevignano (Treviso) houses more than 20,000 drawings, testimony to the architect’s prolific and extraordinary achievement.Among Scarpa’s most significant projects in a career that included designs for single houses, urban interventions in historic town centres, and landscape solutions we can cite: the Olivetti store in Venice (1957 - 1958); the Veritti villa in Udine (1955 - 1961); the Ottolenghi house in Bardolino (1974 - 1978); the headquarters of the Banca Popolare in Verona (1973 - 1978), and the Brion cemetery at San Vito di Altivole (1969 - 1978). In spite of his reputation and singular achievements, decades passed before Scarpa was awarded an honorary degree in architecture (1978). He died the same year in a banal accident in Japan.
