Scarpa did that to death, and that is how he became an eminence. He emerges through this discourse. The other way of being polemical, the de la Sota mode, was to continue an early Miesian discourse, an almost theological discourse about the disappearance of architecture in the service of allowing the presence of humans to emanate, as well as the presence of place, nature and city. — Places Design Observer
Architects David Adjaye, Nikolaus Hirsch and Jorge Otero-Pailos met recently to discuss architectural authorship, preservation, agency and commoditization. Along the way they explain how De la Sota and Scarpa represent two opposite and polemical positions that emerged around the same time in the mid 20th century and explore the difference between narrative and discourse.
