Carlo Scarpa by Sergio Polano

Castelvecchio is one of my favorite.

one of my favorite, too. It's amazing walking through the spaces and seeing how tighting he integrated is clean forms with the ancient stone work.
He's one of the best, imho.

Taschen or Rizzoli have a decent one that is pretty inexpensive. Not great, but great for the money.

tashen, you find good deals on amazon, or go down to a few bookshop chains they usually have them in the bargain sections (have you got a chain of shops called "the works" over there?

and, by the way, it's carlo, not carlos.

frampton's essay on scarpa is a good one too...
it's found in:
Studies in Tectonic Culture: The Poetics of Construction in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Architecture
