 Review: "In recent decades, Carlo Scarpa's relevance has been steadily on the rise. At a time when architects have to use existing city and building structures as a point of departure for their work, his ceuvre remains a source of inspiration. Buildings such as the Castelvecchio in Verona show us that architecture is capable of communicating its own history, has meaning, and develops a contemporary dynamic of its own. Scarpa's layered architecture makes visible the time-related sedimentation of material and meanings. It is especially at points of transition and interface that layering becomes a narrative element that elucidates the tectonic qualities of the building. Overlaying Includes leaving a record of how an object came into being - by means of the sediments of its history or through the intervention of the architect." "In this book Anne-Catrin Schultz presents her research about the phenomenon of layering in Carlo Scarpa's architecture.^
