Carlo Scarpa and Carlo Maschietto represent a remarkable dialogue between visionary architecture and structural intuition. Scarpa was renowned for his poetic approach to spatial composition, materials, craftsmanship and detail. Maschietto was a long-time collaborator of Scarpa; he was a master engineer whose technical precision and creativity helped translate Scarpa's complex designs into a built reality. In five chapters and based on several of Scarpa’s key buildings, the book investigates different approaches to structural design and its formal expression. The authors – an architect and an engineer – mirror the cooperation of Scarpa and Maschietto.
- Architectural-structural analysis of four of Scarpa's signature works: Castelvecchio, the Ottolenghi residence, Venezuela Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and Brion Memorial
- Attractive photography and rarely published drawings
- Scarpa was one of the most influential Italian architects of the 20th century

Christina McCoy, Oklahoma State University
Christina McCoy teaches Architectural Engineering at Oklahoma State University. She is both a licensed structural engineer and architect. She graduated from Oklahoma State with Bachelor degrees in Architectural Engineering and Architecture. She received a MS in Architecture from University of Cincinnati, focusing in the history and theory of tectonics in architecture. Professor McCoy received a MCEng with a Structural emphasis from University of Kansas. Her professional experience at Thornton Tomasetti gave her experience in long span structures, high rises, and steel connection design. Professor McCoy's interests lie in the intersection of structures and architecture. Of particular interest are instances where building technology leads the cutting edge of design.
