Carlo Scarpa transformed the entrance to this University in 1985. Its classic materiality, using off-form concrete, steel, glass, and travertine. The detailing impeccable; even the stainless steel grate purpose made. Shadow gaps between elements and the ability to know when to leave things rough - and when to contrast that with a higher quality material.
The small internal garden is also special - using a faux fallen doorway to define a small seating area - again of concrete.
