Casa Sperimentalen, Fregene, Italy,

Also known as Casa Albero, the experimental concrete residence was developed over seven years by a family of Italian architects.

The project was led by Giuseppe Perugini alongside his wife Uga de Plaisant, with their son Raynaldo Perugini later contributing to the design. During the 60s and 70s, the family used the holiday home as a laboratory for architectural experimentation, exploring new Brutalist construction methods and unconventional approaches to living space.

Constructed from raw concrete modules and geometric frames woven through the surrounding pines, the structure explores a modular, almost organic vision of living spaces. Raised on pillars, it was conceived as an ‘unfinishable’ architectural experiment.

Access to Casa Sperimentale is via a single red staircase that can be raised like a drawbridge, allowing the house to be physically separated from the ground.

Abandoned since the 1990s, the structure has suffered vandalism and significant decay, leaving the structure at risk of collapse despite ongoing efforts to preserve the site.

zel's harmless dork era feels at least in part like a deliberate overcorrection from TRY, when he was an ultra-badass who shot pistols and cracked safes and had sexy guitar solos. but one of zel's consistent traits across seasons is that he'll always let a strong woman push him around no matter how much he complains

the nama episode has its charms btw. pokota is a teenage pervert but this much raw thirst is too gross even for him:

the worst part of revo/evo-R to me is that there are so many pieces of a good story there. zel's dark past vs. his present as a part-time knight, lina's otherworldly talent vs. the fact that she's anathema to an orderly society with rules and laws, amelia's idealism vs. the reality that sometimes politics involves bad choices. and then what came out was a bizarre mishmash of season 1 (what is ozel is not a weird eris remix? who even asked for a retconned zanaffar??)

I remain convinced that there was a plan for revo/evo-R that had to be scrapped very quickly or some kind of all-out war in the production staff because the difference in quality between episodes 2 and 3 is notable, and zel and amelia have zero plot relevance until evo-R

Brutalist Damascus-2.

Not really, though, but Gourry fuckin' looks like it

also it's his first encounter with Jillas and it does not go well
