| Abstract |
According to Kenneth Frampton, the modern architecture starts to be recognized as the poetics of construction and lays a great weight in its
value on the technology of making forms and the inherent meaning in the tectonics. The tectonic connotes not only the technological
construction of the architecture but also ontological details as the joint of material and texture. The works of Carlo Scarpa are examples to
prove the way how the ontological meanings are exposed in the tectonic form of architecture. The purpose of this study was to analyze the
connections between Carlo Scarpa's architectural thoughts and visual logic(schemata) from the characteristic of details in his work during the
1950s to 1970s. Through the analysis, the Italian tradition in the architecture is reinterpreted through isolation and break of recollected
montages. Carlo Scarpa makes spatial fragments and aspects of reinterpreting in surroundings and situation with the architectural place in
Venezia. As a result, the unique details of his craftsmanship provide lessons on how to reinterpret the traditional architecture. In conclusion,
Carlo Scarpa's architecture emphasizes the passage of its perceptive experience aspects as a dis-joint of tectonic forms. It may imply the
significance of his philosophical approach, especially to the ontological architecture and tectonics. |
