San Vito Di Altivole (Italy)

@massmoderndesign: "The “Tombe Brion", also known as the Brion sanctuary and Brion-Vega tomb, in San Vito d'Altivole near Treviso, Italy, is the burial ground of the Brion family. It was designed by Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa between 1968–1978 as an L-shaped 2,000 m2 extension to the adjacent municipal cemetery. It is regarded as a masterpiece of modernist architecture and a powerful commemorative monument. Scarpa felt that "the place for the dead is a garden" and is himself buried adjacent to the Brion sanctuary. The sanctuary is designed as a composition of concrete buildings with distinctive detailing set in gardens with water features. It has been described as "both a meditation on death and an evocation of a particular magical city, Venice". Scarpa has been quoted as saying "I like water very much, perhaps because I am Venetian ..."

today’s synchronicity 🔱

i’ve been reading dune. yesterday I looked up information about the upcoming second film and learned that some scenes were filmed in the brion vega cemetery, a place I did a research project on in grad school. today at work while waiting in the library on a break, I looked up and saw a book with the architect’s name on the spine. flipped around a bit until I found brion vega 💧
