"Scolari's paintings speak impassively, without rancor or remorse,
for an impossible modernism that had kindled all of our young hopes
with a passion for a better world. To live out these impossible
dreams is not for Scolari. Unlike Tafuri's etui-menschen, who
decorate the interiors of their attic prisons with layers of futile
complexity, Scolari's disillusioned gaze countenances no such
remedy. It remains steadfast and clear, reminding us that
architecture is nothing else but the symbols that have stood for
centuries, only now tumbled over and fractured by the wry hand of
his intelligence." Peter Eisenman "In his concentration on the
logic of representation, Scolari detaches the discipline from some
of its customary practices of embodiment, construction, and
realization. This is important today, at a moment when a prevailing
emphasis on digital technology and constructive technique has
tended to obscure the role played by the imagination in the design
and production of architecture. More specifically, Scolari's
approach has revealed, if only implicitly, the unexpected
significance of drawing, and more generally, the uses of a whole
range of representations that can be produced by the hand of the
architect." Daniel Sherer
