#ArchitectureFriday | Step into the dreamlike world of Dune through Carlo Scarpa’s hauntingly beautiful masterpiece, Tomba Brion ☁️ Commissioned in the 1970s by Onorina Brion in memory of her husband, Giuseppe Brion, founder of iconic electronics brand @brionvega, this visionary funerary complex became Scarpa’s most personal and poetic work. Originally intended as a small family tomb, the project grew in scope when a larger plot was secured, allowing Scarpa to expand the design into an immersive, contemplative space - part architecture, part landscape, part spiritual experience. His L-shaped addition to the nearby cemetery in San Vito d'Altivole became a postmodern landmark, blending Brutalist materials with delicate symbolism. Crafted largely in concrete and mosaic, it’s filled with evocative details: interlocking rings at the entrance symbolising eternal love; water features that reflect the sky; and twin graves tilted gently toward one another - a tender tribute to lifelong connection. In Dune: Part Two (2024), director Denis Villeneuve reimagined Tomba Brion as the Imperial Palace on the planet Kaitain, capturing its stark serenity and otherworldly grandeur on screen. 📷 @duncan.gibbs
