I would appreciate to buy this house, repair it, and live there.
Casa Sperimentale (late 1960s) Architect: Giuseppe Perugini Photographs by: Oliver Astrologo
“In the town of Fregene on the outskirts of Rome, Italy, photographer and urban explorer Oliver Astrologo has been documenting a very different kind of deteriorated building: architect Giuseppe Perugini’s ‘Casa Sperimentale’ (experimental house), a wild, eclectic ode to Brutalism that is slowly crumbling away on a wooded plot near the coast.
The architect built the house in the late 1960s as a way to explore ideas pertaining to form and space at a 1:1 scale. Perugini passed away in 1995, and, for the past 20 years, the house has been left to deteriorate, steadily overwhelmed by plant life, and vandalized with graffiti.
The home is a striking, Frankenstein-like amalgamation of volumes that possess dashes of Paul Rudolph’s Brutalism and Le Corbusier’s Modernism. There are even echoes of Casa Sperimentale present within contemporary experiments byMoshe Safdie (see Habitat 67) and Rem Koolhaas (check out OMA’s Maison à Bordeaux). But Perugini’s house is far less famous than those architects’ radical residences. Astrologo’s new images provide a fresh view of this neglected curiosity and help tell its story to a new generation of architects.”
