The ingenuity of the great architect Carlo Scarpa was the driving force behind this architectural masterpiece of the 20th century. After years of abandonment, this building in Venice, Italy, has reopened its Spaces, which were carefully designed and built by skilled artisans.
In 1957, Adriano Olivetti determined that there was a place for representation in an environment that respected the historical context of modernity and innovation. The work was entrusted to The Venetian Carlo Scarpa, who reorganized the original dark, narrow space with a unified overall design and a genius, innovative spatial structure to restore volume, enhance potential transparency, and engage in dialogue with decorative elements.
The result is Alberto Viani's sculpture "Nudo Al Sole" (Nudo Al Sole in the sun) in an airy hall that achieves a striking balance between function and elegance. But the real push is the extraordinary central staircase, which hangs almost in the air, displaying a masterpiece of lightness and vitality. This rhythm is also reflected upstairs in two long rehearsal rooms that are part of the office space of the historic Olivetti typewriter and Calculator exhibition.
