His architecture is deeply sensitive to the changes of time, from seasons to history, rooted in a sensuous material imagination. Hence, those who worked with him, his clients, associates, craftspersons, called him "Professor", rather than "architect". As a consequence, he was not permitted to practice architecture without associating with an architect. However, Scarpa refused to sit the ''pro forma'' professional exam administrated by the Italian Government after World War II. Scarpa married Rinaldo's niece, Nini Lazzari (Onorina Lazzari). Graduated from the Accademia in Venice, with the title of Professor of Architecture, he apprenticed with the architect Francesco Rinaldo. Carlo attended the Academy of Fine Arts where he focused on architectural studies. After his mother's death when he was 13, he moved with his father and brother back to Venice. Much of his early childhood was spent in Vicenza, where his family relocated when he was 2 years old. Scarpa translated his interests in history, regionalism, invention, and the techniques of the artist and craftsman into ingenious glass and furniture design. Carlo Scarpa (2 June 1906 – 28 November 1978) was an Italian architect, influenced by the materials, landscape and the history of Venetian culture, and by Japan.
