More information about Antonio Gaudi’s designs.
These are some information I gather on the Barcelona trip:
Antonio Gaudi was a Spanish designer bon in 1852 in Reus, Spain. He studied at the Escola Superior d'Arquitectura in Barcelona and designed his first major commission for the Casa Vincens in Barcelona using a Gothic Revival style that set a precedent for his future work. He was very passionate believer in God and his he was using religious aspects in some of his designs. He developed sensuous, curving; almost surreal design style established him as the innovative leader of the Spanish Art Nouveau movement. His hard work reflects in his designs. Three days before his death he was run over by a tram in Barcelona in 1926 and because of that he passed away. The accident didn’t stop him of hard work and until his last breath he was drawing his ideas on paper.La Sagrada Familia
These are pictures I took of the Sagrada Familia cathedral design by Antonio Gaudi. As you can see the building is very different then comment knows cathedrals all over the world. Gaudi was working on this project for 10 years and you can see that every element of this structure is worked to the perfection. All the components are working together and create an impression of movement. The design is very dynamic and full of energy plus it inspired me as well. His designs defiantly made me curtained that I want to be a designer myself
One of the biggest impacts on my project had this staircase inspired by nature (shell). I love the dynamic and look of this set of stairs. There is defiantly movement capture with in this structureMy sketchbook work
drawings from my sketchbook. I really like the look of them because they look very professional especial the one drawn with fine pen.
This drawing is inspired by Victor Horta's designs. I started to build up this flowing design with very organic elements. I like the energy of this design and I think it worked out very well.I think I will use this pattern in my final design.
The inspiration for those two drawings I took from the interior design magazine. I think both of them capturing movement. In my opinion they are quite successful especially the mirror is my favourite maybe because is in an art nouveau stile.
This is very similar example to the drawing on the top of the page and as well as the previous I have been inspired by Horta’s designs. I used some colour to make the drawing more interesting. I think it worked and the drawing is very successful. In my opinion is more flowing then the black and white one and is more delicate as well.
Those are the decorative elements I have drawn inspired by articles in interior design magazines. I was trying to capture movement within those designs. I don’t think they worked out very well but they are very nice and decorative and I think many people would use them in their houses.
Trip to Barelona
On the beginning of February I went on a trip to Barcelona with my college group. Before I went I really didn’t know what to expect, the only think I knew about this city is that it is full of public art. I was pleasantly surprise of amount of art and incredible architecture this city offers. I have fall in love particular in Casa Milà design by Antoni Gaudí. This experience opened my eyes for different aspects of design aspecial for architecture. It made me change the concept of my project. I have decided to focused more on the movement within the design by architecture and elements within the space more than decorative elements.Casa Milà
This is a front view of Casa Mila. As you can see this building is defiantly original, different than anything I ever seen before. Gaudi’s design is very brave and he creates and discovers unconventional architectural structure. His design is very inspirational for me not only because is an incredible piece of art but you can see his passion behind anything he has done.
This is a model of the Casa Mila placed on the top of the building in the attic of the museum. I love all the details capture form the actual building in this model.
These are incredible picture of inside of the building. Gaudi not only created lovely outside of the house but he designed inside of the building to perfection as well. Plus it plays a big role of the capturing natural lighting in the interior.
These are pictures of the interior of the rooms in Casa Mila. I think it is incredible that I could see the original arrangement of the rooms. The experience made me feel like I travelled in to past times, I almost could fell and hear people going around the flat, carry on their domestic activities, I found it fascinating.
