te quiero barcelona


"our love will last forever, but it just does not work; that's why it will always be romantic, because it cannot be complete."

Watched Vicky Cristina Barcelona last night, and was once again inspired by the beautiful works of Gaudi.

Sagrada Familia
Spiraling heights and elegant, flowing beams. so intricate and complex; no detail has been ignored or left unembellished. A completely comprehensive work of architecture.

Park Guell

A vision of fantasy, serpentine and rolling flow; sculpted landscape. Pops and bursts of eclectic colour drawn from abstractly arranged broken tiles; recycled beauty.

Casa Batllo
Probably my favourite work of Gaudi's. Whimsical colours, skeletal design details, resemblances of a coral reef. Scale-like texture; the roof is intended to evoke the image of a dragon's back. Total indulgence of the imagination.
