Carlo Scarpa | 1. Deeply subtle, particularly in its treatment of materials, light and history, Carlo Scarpa’s architecture reflected his passion for history, craftsmanship and artisanal traditions at a time when his peers were steeped in rationalism.

A @nytimes piece about the wonderful jewelry designer Romilly Sumarez Smith who - after losing the use of her hands due to MS - thought her career was over.

@ben_derbyshire @CSaumarezSmith In my Royal Academy talk I suggested that Architects should sign a pledge to ‘first do no harm’. This Herzog de Meuron scheme is doing maximum harm.

[The Critic @TheCriticMag]

.@CSaumarezSmith has a suspicion that Gavin Stamp will be at least as influential in death as he was in life https://t.co/eusEm3nbkZ

[Hugh Pearman @hughpearman]

@TheCriticMag @CSaumarezSmith Charles mentions that Stamp was "much less predictable in his views than might be expected". Indeed: his mid-life conversion to an appreciation of historic modernism - Seifert included - was a Damascene moment.
