Reviews

'Goffi offers a rigorous, innovative, and inspiring contribution to the fields of architecture in conversion, restoration, and adaptive reuse, linking them to the multifaceted concept of time. The work of Carlo Scarpa, which embodies restoration, historical layering, and architectural innovation, is tied by the author to modern and contemporary experiences. Scholarly and visually compelling, it is beautifully illustrated with photographs by Patel.' - Alba Di Lieto, Politecnico di Milano; former Architect of the City Museums and Curator of the Carlo Scarpa Archive, Verona, Italy
