Fuck Yeah Carlo Scarpa

“If the architecture is any good, a person who looks and listens will feel its good effects without noticing. The environment educates in a critical fashion. As for the critic, he discovers the truth of things…”

my brother insisted that we go to the residential village of Corte di Cadore, which was right on the outskirts of Borca. it was designed by Edoardo Gellner in the 1950s and 60s, and was famous for it’s church, which was a collaboration between Gellner and Carlo Scarpa.

it’s hard to describe the style of it, and I don’t want to insult any architecture gurus by using the wrong terms, so I’ll keep it simple, the church was absolutely stunning.

we spent a good deal of the morning exploring the structure, and my brother spoke to one of the ladies at the village office and she opened it up for us so we were able to see the inside. it’s been closed for a couple of years now, so it was a real treat!

I was fortunate enough to hear the bells chime, and they were so loud but gorgeous. I just stood there watching them for a good twenty minutes.

*sidenote — I also saw the biggest snail I have ever seen in my life. it was a good four inches long.
