Free Webinar Highlights Carlo Scarpa |
|
You can learn more about the architectural approach and influences of Italian architect Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978). Often described as a cross between Wright and Louis Kahn, Scarpa developed a deep respect for craftsmanship, traditional materials and cultural significance, and his career was marked by a masterful fusion of modernist principles with artisanal techniques.
In an Oct. 14 free webinar, Annalisa Capurro, an interior designer, architectural historian and preservationist, delves into Scarpa’s extraordinary work and legacy. This webinar will begin at noon, ET. View previously recorded webinars on our website. |

Fall = Gnome Season at Fallingwater! |
|
School is back in session, so it’s the perfect time for students who are interested in art, architecture, construction, engineering and/or design to sign up for our Gnome House Design Challenge. Open to students ages 8 to 13, and for a $50 registration fee, the challenge gives young learners a chance to see how professional architects design for clients. Using gnomes as their clients, participants sharpen their imagination, critical thinking and comprehension skills while considering their clients’ needs for an ideal home based on Wright’s organic architecture principles. Students can also showcase their designs at Fallingwater next May during our 2027 Gnome House Symposium! |
