Italian Biennale Pavilion Courtyard

Sestiere Castello, 30122 Venezia, Italy

Carlo Scarpa (1952)

While visiting the art or architecture Biennales one might happen to wander into a courtyard within the Italian Pavilion. That courtyard was designed by Carlo Scarpa and is a delightful asymmetrical composition of concrete paving, concrete columns, a concrete roof, and ponds. Despite all the hard surfaces it still feels serene and wonderful and a respite from the crowded pavilions, even with gaggles of people passing through. Nowadays the vines are lush and green.
