Carlo Scarpa’s posthumously completed Ca’ Masieri, with spaces interweaving between floors behind an original brick facade, all tied together by a wonderfully decorative use of radiators, & unusual views down (rather than across) the grand canal. Board marked concrete, Marmorino, and lacquered yet grainy wood. It’s the site that Frank Lloyd Wright suggested a new palazzo (last drawing), and Scarpa stepped in when this was denied planning.
Fernand Pouillon’s reconstruction areas La Tourette & Vieux-Port de Marseille, 1948-53, austere & classy stone masonry blocks, even the 16 storey limestone point block; weird to think it was under construction at the same time as the Unite; but from the current state of architectural fashion strangely prescient.
