This was so interesting! We knew very little about Scarpa so this was a thorough and fascinating presentation! I highly recommend Dr. Hirsh - she is informative and makes the topic come to life.
I loved this presentation! I came away with a solid understanding of Carlo Scarpa and the recurring themes of his major projects thanks to Dr. Hirsh's clear and concise explanations. I loved the detail she went into when describing Scarpa's use of favorite elements (water, bridges, metal, small interesting details) in a way that will allow me to visit these sites with a whole new perspective. I'm really looking forward to visiting the Querini-Stampalia Foundation and the Olivetti Showroom again, and visiting the Brion Cemetery for the first time. I really appreciate the excellent photos Dr. Hirsh selects for her presentations, along with the great care with which she presents the material. Looking forward to her upcoming Conversation on Tadao Ando. Grazie mille!
Did not know much about him but now I do
Professor Hirsh's lecture was great. The slides were excellent and the content informative. Professor Hirsh's delivery is smooth and engaging. I enjoyed the question and answer session afterwards.
Jennie Hirsh is a teacher in the best sense of the word. The talk was absolutely fascinating!
