Brion - a photo on Flickriver

Brion

Brion Family Grave
San Vito d'Altivole, Italy
1969-1978
Carlo Scarpa, architect

It seems like I'm not going to get any peace until I turn my attention to the Brion tomb, soooooo by popular request, I'll finally get around to posting a few shots of this iconic place. When I got back from my trip, I thought I would have a hard time deciding which ones *not* to post, but now, after a healthy break of a few months, I think it will be more like searching for a few that are good enough. Always good to let the waters settle a bit.

It was my second visit to the cemetary (hard to beleive, but the first time was 20 years ago) and I was even more taken with it this time, but that didn't really suprise me. The plan looks simple enough, but there is so much going on it is difficult to grasp.

The perfection in which everything is executed is truley stunning, especially if one has tried building in concrete onesself, regardless of the complexity of the form.

Looking at this again, I have to think about if Scarpa (atheist that he was) went to the same sunday-school class that I did back in the 70's.......there is an uncanny resemblance to the God's Eyes that we used to make:

Again, 1000 thanks to my wife for giving me the S95 last year.

please, no icons.
