Negozio Olivetti
1958
Located under the arcades of Piazza San Marco, the central and iconic shop is the result of the compositional genius of the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa. Perfect harmony between transparency, contemporary design and Venetian tradition where everything revolves around the famous staircase, the absolute protagonist of the scene here, the attention to detail coexists in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment


Fondaco dei Tedeschi
2016
The result of a recent redevelopment project by the architect Rem Koolhaas, this place was the landing point for goods arriving from Germany. The exterior has everything that a Venetian palace must have. The interior instead amazes with the large glass covered courtyard that gives light and vital space to the environment. Continuing upwards we find a large hall for events and finally the terrace overview where you can admire Venice from an unexpected angle.


Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi
2013
Designed by Tadao Ando, the new 225-seat Teatrino is designed to minimize its invasiveness compared to the ancient eighteenth-century structure, so much so that it is even reversible. The neutral colors, the pure triangular geometries and the sloping walls that make up this new environment are in contrast with the austere and typically Venetian appearance of the external facade of the building.


Fondazione Querini-Stampalia
1868
A secret garden dedicated to water; a temple where silence is disturbed only by the gushing of the fountains. The raised path designed by architect Carlo Scarpa allows water to freely invade the ground floor at high tide, generating pools and reflections that enhance and give light to the spaces.


I Giardini della Biennale
1807-1995
A secret garden dedicated to water; a temple where silence is disturbed only by the gushing of the fountains. The raised path designed by architect Carlo Scarpa allows water to freely invade the ground floor at high tide, generating pools and reflections that enhance and give light to the spaces.


Aula Baratto IUAV
1935 e 1955
A first phase (1935) in which Carlo Scarpa designs the first lecture hall of the Ca Foscari University where the influences of Le Corbusier and Mies Van der Rohe develop, giving shape to pure lines and powerful material references. A second phase (1955) in which the lecture hall is then transformed into a classroom where the architect Scarpa also creates the boiserie and the famous dividing wall in wood and glass, the perfect synthesis of his architectural composition.


Palazzo Vernier dei Leoni
XVIII secolo
The original project included a large Renaissance / Baroque façade but following the client’s financial problems only the ground floor was built, thus giving life to an original and contemporary building.
Today part of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, the building was purchased in 1948 by Peggy Guggenheim as her personal home, today it houses her private art collection.


Fondazione Giorgio Cini
The island of San Giorgio is the treasure chest of a parallel Venice, a pleasant place where peace reigns supreme and where every corner is a surprise to discover.
Palladian cloisters with gardens and cypresses alternate with halls, libraries and stairways. The “Lo Squero” auditorium is an infinite window on the lagoon, the Gandini Pool shows a skilful use of reinforced concrete and glass while the “glass rooms” retrace the history and technique of glassmaking throughout Europe.
