ARCHITECTURE :: Carlo Scarpa for Olivetti in Venice

In 1957, Carlo Scarpa won the Olivetti award for architecture & was consequently commissioned to design the Olivetti store at the Piazza San Marco in Venice.

The store is now open to the public again and besides the opportunity to see this masterpiece of architecture and the product design of the Olivetti typewriters of different decades, the Negozio Olivetti will act as a gallery and host exhibitions.

The current one is dedicated to the artists of the Arte Programmata, a movement associated with the kinetic art, into which the Italian Gruppo T and Gruppo N and the artists Bruno Munari, Enzo Mari and Getulio Alviani were involved. — at La Biennale di Venezia
