| Sumario: | [EN] In the intervention of architectural heritage since the second half of the twentieth century, the need for coexistence between historical or traditional materials, with those derived from the latest architectural movements, has been experienced. This is the case of concrete, the material par excellence of the Modern Movement and which has come to acquire its own prominence from the hand of architects such as Le Corbusier or Scarpa. The latter explored the expressive possibilities of the material, drawing inspiration from ancestral customs and trying different solutions in its composition, which made Scarpa an original innovator. The result was the use of matter as a means of transmitting meanings in its architecture, where concrete is the protagonist of this action and in which any current intervention must be subject to the maximum respect for this lexicon. This text aims to reflect on the symbolism and interpretation of the use of concrete in Scarpa's work. |
