Pietro Porcina), Tomba Brion (1969-77) San Vito d’Altivole, Italy (Post 1)Here I present a whole slew of new images I captured during a series of 3 separate visits over May/June of this year.For detailed descriptions please scroll down to my series of posts from late October of last year. Needless to say that every visit I’ve made to this extraordinary funerary complex reveals new delights made by the different light depending upon the time of day & year. The space is actually incredibly sparse in real life; the detail like the physical manifestation of repetition & reinvention in a fugue by Bach..The normal act of vanity in death is seemingly reversed with this extraordinary act of patronage by Onorina Brion, wife of Giuseppe Brion, the founder of Brionvega Electronics. The entire space is almost taken up with either grass or water, making the veins of off-form concrete & the exquisite detail the outline of the parti. With this astonishing jewel of both design & craft, is the little known fact is that this is the sole project that Scarpa worked on with Porcinai, the landscape architect having worked on various projects for the Brions, including their factory outside of Treviso, & Onorina’s own house in Portofino. For personal reasons the two great designers didn’t get along, which is a great shame, because the level of integration of planting & hardscape/architecture is about as perfect as you could imagine.📷 @duncan.gibbs.#carloscarpa #scarpa #pietroporcinai #brionvega #brionfamilytomb #brioncemetery #pavilion #courtyard #courtyarddesign #modernistcourtyard #modernistwaterfall #modernistpond #modernistchurch #modernistcemetery #sanvitoaaltivole #gardendesign #modernistgarden #modernistgardendesign #modernism #midcentury #midcenturymodernism #modernistgardenseries https://www.instagram.com/p/DQlVP7Zkoos/?img_index=10&igsh=Y3R4cnE0cW5sanhm
