San Francisco's Vaillancourt Fountain Dismantling Sparks Fire Amid Safety Concerns

San Francisco's Vaillancourt Fountain Dismantling Sparks Fire Amid Safety Concerns

The dismantling of San Francisco's Vaillancourt Fountain, a Brutalist structure designed by Armand Vaillancourt in 1971, has encountered a setback as construction crews accidentally ignited a fire. The fire occurred during torch-cutting activities, which caused debris inside the fountain's cantilevered arms to catch fire. The San Francisco Arts Commission reported that the fire was quickly controlled and extinguished with no major damage. The dismantling process began after a California appeals court denied a request to halt the removal, despite concerns from the local group Friends of the Plaza. The city has argued that the fountain, which contains asbestos, poses safety risks and needs to be removed. However, the dismantling is proceeding without an air-quality permit, and there are concerns about potential exposure to hazardous materials, as workers were observed without protective gear.

Venetian Estate Transformed into Arts Hub by Design and Luxury Directors

A historic estate in Mira, Italy, near Venice, has been converted into an arts hub by Riccardo Corò, a design creative director, and Leonardo Tiezzi, a luxury communications director. The estate, known as Ca’ Riviera, spans two villas along the Brenta River and is set to debut with an exhibition titled 'The Shape of the Self / La forma del Sé.' This exhibition will feature avant-garde artists from the 20th century and present, including works by the late Argentine painter Leonor Fini and contemporary artists like Cecilia Granara and Yves Scherer. The estate includes Villa Contarini and Villa Valier, both from the 16th century, and has been owned by the Corò family since the mid-20th century. The transformation aims to blend contemporary art with the estate's rich historical and architectural context.
