Sumario:[EN] One of Carlo Scarpa s most celebrated drawings corresponds to an unbuilt project: the floor plan for Villa Zoppas (Conegliano, 1953). A residence located in the province of Treviso, the surviving drawings of this project reflect and exemplify the architect s creative process, based on the continuous reworking of ideas. The various versions of the house reveal a clear influence of Frank Lloyd Wright, whose thinking Scarpa studied in depth within a post-war context in which Italy was seeking new international references. Although never realized, the project is one of Scarpa s most conceptually rich works, demonstrating a gaze toward America to reinterpret its principles from a European perspective, as part of his evolution toward a unique architectural language.
