Architecture

Architecture is very inspiring & an important part of our quality of life & society’s development. An art form that combines creativity, function & technology to create physical structures but not to forget, the aesthetics, that many times awaken something within us. A little rush of joy over human creativity & skill.

Antoni Gaudí

Antoni Gaudí, born 25th June 1852, is one of the most beloved architects in the world. After his eight years training as an architect, his first solo commission was designing lamp posts. He designed furniture, church interiors & a pharmacy & houses. The project that dominated Gaudí’s life was the Sagrada Família which started 1883 – not yet completely finished. Gaudí brought delight to the world: colour, playfulness, whimsy & beauty. He’s style was startlingly original.

The Casa Batlló, remodelled by Gaudí in 1904, in his own true style.
1885, completion of a house. Quite unique style that had not been seen before.
Gaudís style was to cover rooftops & façades in decorative, highly colourful tiles, mosaics
& floral shapes — truly transformational.
