Casa Sperimentale - Interview with Angelo Bellotto, the builder.
The Casa Sperimentale, also known as the Casa Albero - the Treehouse by Giuseppe Perugini, Uga de Plaisant and Raynaldo Perugini was built 1967-1975 in Fregene, a small coastal resort near Rome. It has been designed as a holiday home to explore ideas developed by Perugini with Bruno Zevi and it follows the Seven Rules for Architecture by the APOA, the Organisation for the Organic Architecture.
This film is one of the series of interviews/stories about the house and it aims to explore the (his)story of the building through the eyes of the architects/inhabitants/builder/friends/employees.
Angelo Bellotto is one of the builders involved in the construction of the house.
The building is currently abandoned and in a fragile state.
Sabine Storp and Patrick Weber from the Bartlett School of Architecture are working over the last years to document the history and the current state of the structure.
The project is supported by the Architecture Research Fund at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, London.
