However, he wants to take from both and begin to create for a reason and for merit, not for a template, and not just to change. "Architecture must extend those narrow border lines; persuade them to loop into realms- articulated in between realms". He was concerned on what his space should be not what it should look like. He believed that "whenever the eye is the only gauge of architecture, it is never for the best". .
Carlo Scarpa is an individual to say the least. Scarpa's work is fiercely loyal to the language of modern architecture, but it is against the progressive weakening of the aesthetic in the modern idiom and achieves his personal style with its denial of style in itself. His insatiable desire for progress led him to work painstakingly all his life excavating architectural traditions, piecing together, absorbing and redefining forms that had previously been incompatible- separating opposites and eliminating simple solutions. He used, or rather juxtaposed, different styles without fear of criticism, passing through varied "figurative styles of modern and ancient architecture". This combining, or the ability to not disregard anything, was part of his search for form in an impossibility of completing the search for those unattainable shapes that could "reconcile man with his environment and transport him beyond the uncertain and the temporary". He wanted to create an experience more than he wanted to send out and make obvious his communistic beliefs. He wanted to combine not only different styles, but different experiences as well, in order to greater feel the space and less to define it. His work was meant for one to observed and experience- the complexity all without changing the intended functionality. If Scarpa had been an artist, a painter for example, "he would have completely painted the walls, floors, and ceilings of the interiors he was called to transform depriving the plane surfaces of their two-dimensionality and compactness revolutionized, without affecting the concrete functionality of the space".
