Carlo Scarpa (June 2, 1906 – November 28, 1978) was an Italian architect and designer considered one of the most significant figures in 20th-century architecture. His work is characterized by sensitivity to the context, an emphasis on materials and craftsmanship, and the use of subtle details to create a sense of place.

Scarpa's first major architectural commission was the Olivetti showroom in Venice, designed by him in 1936. The showroom was a turning point for Scarpa and established his reputation as one of the leading architects of the modern movement. Over the next four decades, Scarpa designed a wide range of buildings, including museums, libraries, houses, and gardens.

Scarpa's work is difficult to classify because it draws on a wide range of influences from various periods in the history of architecture. He was particularly interested in the work of Venetian Renaissance architects, such as Andrea Palladio and Jacopo Sansovino, and often applied their principles in his projects. Scarpa was also influenced by Japanese architects like Tadao Ando and Kazuo Shinohara. He deeply appreciated Japanese minimalism and craftsmanship, and incorporated these elements into his work.
