Early in his career, the Italian architect, Carlo Scarpa declared his desire to build a pyramid for a pharaoh. In 1968, his wish was granted when the Bryan Vega family commissioned him to design a mausoleum complex. The result? The Carlo Scarpa Tomba Brion: the deft weaving together of Japanese architecture, late-antique Roman Christian burial traditions and Scarpa's inimitable style characterised by concrete and light-infused spaces. Today Scarpa is buried in its garden, a fitting resting place for the polymath who once declared: "the place for the dead is a garden".
