Barcelona Gaudí Architecture

On this page you'll find an introduction to Barcelona Gaudí Architecture and find out why his work is so important in Barcelona.

Gaudí's work is admired by architects around the World as being one of the most unique and distinctive architectural styles. His work has greatly influenced the face of Barcelona Architecture and you will see Gaudí's work all over the city. Antoni Gaudí was born in Reus in 1852 and received his Architectural degree in 1878. From the very beginning his designs were different from those of his contemporaries. Gaudí's work was greatly influenced by forms of nature and this is reflected by the use of curved construction stones, twisted iron sculptures, and organic-like forms which are traits of Gaudí's Barcelona architecture.

Gaudí also adorned many of his buildings with coloured tiles arranged in mosaic patterns. This added another important dimension to his buildings which is so often overlooked by architects - the use of colour. The combination of original design, interesting shaped stonework, and vibrant colours in Gaudí's work give the viewer a truly breathtaking visual experience. To give you an outline of his style we have prepared three separate pages reviewing a selection of Barcelona Gaudí's work

THE LEGACY OF SUBURBIA

“Suburbia is more than a collection of residential buildings; it expresses values so deeply embedded in bourgeois cultures that it might also be called bourgeois utopia... From its origins the suburban works of leisure family life and union with nature was based on the principle of exclusion.“ (Robert Fishman, The Rise and Fall of Bourgeois Utopia) Between the various narratives to trace suburbias origins probably the attempt to locate it in the 18th century development of big British cities is the most convincing. Whereas the urban ecology was still shaped by the identity of work and home in the bourgeois townhouse, which was open to the city, the weekend villa became the forerunner for the suburbia.

DESSAU - GERMANY

Efectos de la suburbaizacion en la ciudades Latinoamericanas.

Cada vez las áreas metropolitanas dentro de un mismo país son muy distintas y mas aun en los municipios aledaños que parecen ser mundos diferentes. Dentro de estas metrópolis se encuentran diferentes barrios donde habitan distintas personas de diferentes condiciones raciales o étnicas y clases sociales. A través de esta diversidad de barrios en algunos casos sus habitantes pasan de sentirse fuera de lugar de su ciudad. El tipo de comercio dentro de una ciudad ofrece un reflejo de lo anterior hasta el punto en que un centro comercial dispone de marcas de ropa o diferentes artículos de alta gama y en otra parte tiendas pequeñas o vendedores ambulantes disponen de marcas de artículos mas populares y esto se debe a que la metrópoli es distintiva a sectores donde se integran líneas comerciales en cuanto a la raza, etnia, clase y variedad en la vida comercial. Esto da entender en algunas personas a que lugar no pertenecen. Este paisaje urbano generalizado no es simplemente el resultado de las decisiones del individuo sobre dónde vivir o crear un negocio. Es tal vez el producto de una multitud de políticas gubernamentales.

PERSONAS CON DISCAPACIDAD VISUAL Y SU ACCESIBILIDAD AL ENTORNO URBANO

A través de la historia las personas con discapacidad visual han sido discriminadas por su condición y han sido compadecidos e ignorados incluso hasta ocultados.

El espacio en el cual vivimos la mayor parte de la vida el entorno urbano ha sido pensado para que las personas se movilicen de un lado a otro con la plena utilización de la vista y todas sus extremidades. En algunas ciudades de Europa se ha implementado dispositivos sonoros en los semáforos para percibir no solo el espacio en dimensiones sino en tiempo esta es solo una aproximación para establecer un espacio con características vivenciales en donde la limitación visual y física no presente distanciamiento físico y espacial dentro de un medio urbano el cual lo hemos construido en un espacio principalmente visual donde la vivencia se desarrolla a partir de lo que vemos por los ojos.

Bauhaus

The new Bauhaus Kolleg will take Levittown, the role model of American suburbia, and the fate of its latest projects as the starting point of a comparative international study on the economic, social, ecological and cultural implications of a global suburbia. The dramatic fallout of the global financial crisis of 2008 can be seen the clearest in the suburbias. Levitt & Sons’ company history can be read as only one example amongst many for the disastrous development of the global financial economy: since the 1980s a transformation has set in, away from investing in immobile capital, i.e. land, and towards investing in liquid assets that can be transferred across national borders in the form of funds and portfolios. Today, ownership has been decoupled to a hitherto unknown extent from the location of the assets. A new international ‘financial market architecture’ in the form of particular investment structures has fostered this development. Residential resorts and gated communities constructed by international developers are the building sites of this global financial market architecture.
