We are thrilled to announce that Carmen García Sánchez, affiliated scholar at the Centre for Privacy Studies, has been awarded a scholarship to study at the Danish Institute in Rome. Her research will examine the relationship between Japanese culture and history, and the architectural work of Carlo Scarpa. Carmen will be residing in the celebrated building, designed by the Danish architect Kay Fisker in the Italian capital (1967).
The already identified Japanese impact on the artistic universe of the great Italian architect Carlo Scarpa is a complex system that Sánchez wishes to understand further through an in-depth study. Her stay at the Danish Institute in Rome will provide her with an excellent opportunity to explore how and by what means the fascinating relationship between Japanese culture and Scarpa's architectural work took place. Carmen will use her previous research on traditional Japanese architecture and its influnce on post-war Danish architecture as a starting point for her studies in Rome. She hopes that the insights gained from this exploration will enhance and transform the current understanding of Carlo Scarpa's architecture and how it was framed by Japanese culture.
