Cervantes said that Barcelona is the pride of Spain and the most beautiful city in the world. Indeed, I am fortunate to have three world-class artists, Picasso, Miro and Gaudi, and become brilliant. Anthony? Gaudi, who created almost all the most famous buildings there, made Barcelona stand proudly in front of the world more intuitive, extraordinary and shining. Like his house, Gaudi is a miracle in the history of world architecture. He created another world for us with his wild imagination. Gouel Park, bartholomew's house, Mira apartment and Sagrada Familia Cathedral ... are immortal myths. Gaudi, who lingers between a madman and a genius, is a myth in itself.
Key words: Anthony? Gaudi Architectural Art Mira Apartment Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Gouel Park.
Anthony? Gaudi is a crazy architect. His technique is bold and his works are unique, giving people a strong sense of visual impact. The scope of architecture is also very wide, including palaces, houses, churches, schools, monuments and gardens. There are 17 architectural works listed as national cultural relics by Spain and 3 as world cultural heritage by UNESCO.
"Only a madman would try to describe something that doesn't exist in the world!" This is what Gaudi once said, and it is also the motto of his lifelong practice. In Gaudi's eyes, all inspiration comes from nature: the radian of waves, the lines of conch, the charm of beehive, the shapes of mythical figures and even all kinds of strange biological forms are his favorite expression ideas. Gaudi seems to hate stiff straight lines. His favorite geometric shapes are circles, hyperboloids and helicoids, and he prefers to express everything with soft curves and colorful colors. He designed furniture, floors, lights and stained glass windows for these buildings, even the shape of each chimney and the arrangement of each brick. He pondered for a long time with great interest.
Gaudi is obsessed with naturalism and pursues simplicity and natural beauty. Sometimes he is naive, and sometimes he is almost rogue and crazy: the colorful lizards on the steps of Gouel Park are the restoration of small things that can be seen everywhere in the back garden, rockery and bottom of the pool, and the stained glass of colonia chapel is simply a graffiti pattern of children; He also made a model of Xiao Lv to show Jesus Christ entering Jerusalem, and even hung a model of a dead baby on the top of the church. It seems unreasonable, but this is his interpretation of his crazy imagination. His architecture is poetry, painting and symphony. Those buildings that are different from the general European style have created the dream city of Barcelona.
Dream Paradise-Gouel Park
Gaudi's artistic style is like a duck to water in the planning and design of Gouel Park. He integrated architecture, sculpture, color, light and shadow, space and natural environment to give full play to his imagination. The strange shapes in the park are amazing. The colorful Spanish tiles make the flowing curve of the park dynamic, and even every detail is very bionic, and the colorful mosaic tiles are applied to the extreme.
The whole corridor in the park has inclined columns, and the uneven stones are built like legs, leaning against the hillside at will, full of oriental sentiment. Baizhutang is supported by a large column support. The column body is composed of pure white and ivory stones, and the top is unexpectedly used up with mosaic tiles, rendering colorful colors at will. It seems strange at first glance, but the overall effect is spectacular and wonderful.
The most famous chair in the park is the longest chair in the world. It is not appropriate to say it is a bench, because it breaks people's impression of the park bench, like a long snake winding. This is actually the edge of the roof of Baizhutang. Gaudi combined the fence with the seat, made it into a lace-like zigzag seat, and put it together with colored tiles, creating a rich visual experience and driving a lively atmosphere. The bench can sit or lie, and the arc in the corner can also be a space for friends to chat. The height of the chair and the radian of the back of the chair are just the distance between friends. The seat that looks hard is actually considered from the perspective of ergonomics, so that the person sitting will be very comfortable.
In addition, it is worth mentioning the colorful lizards and colorful animal heads in the park. They are also made of colorful mosaic tiles, but they are not as disgusting as the real thing. Colorful colors and exaggerated shapes are full of novelty, making them the treasures of town houses.
Mira apartment-a toy left in the world
Mila Apartment is also a famous and controversial work of Gaudi. It is said that Milla, a rich man, was envious of Batlo's home, so he invited Gaudi to design a more stunning building for himself and promised him complete freedom of movement. After the completion, Milla had some regrets, and Gaudi was very satisfied with his work, calling it "the most convincing work to embody romanticism and anti-traditional spirit in architecture with naturalism".
In my opinion, Mira Apartment is much more "humanized" than Baliot House. Although it also has exaggerated shapes and twisted lines, it seems to be more in line with the word "residence" than Baliot House. Its walls are like caves, balconies are like skeletons, roofs are like the backs of scaly animals, and the surfaces are covered with colorful tiles, which will not be too abrupt in the building.
Mira apartment has six floors, the walls are uneven, and the eaves and roof rise and fall in a serpentine curve. The shape of the building seems to be a rock mass eroded and weathered into holes by seawater for a long time, while the wall itself is like a rough sea, full of movement. Its balcony railing is composed of twisted iron bars and iron plates, hanging on the rock like clusters of messy seaweed. In addition, the plane layout of Mira apartment is also quite distinctive, the wall lines are twisted and twisted, and the plane modeling of the rooms is almost "out of the square", without squares and rectangles. On the rooftop, there are many strange chimneys, such as soldiers guarding and ice cream.
Some critics say that this building is a manifestation of genius. This lies not only in its originality in modeling, but also in its practical significance. Its effective natural ventilation system makes all forms of air conditioning redundant, the walls in the apartment can be moved and adapted to indoor reorganization, and all corridors have natural light. Today, Mira apartment is still considered by many as the most representative and original building among all modern buildings and one of the most important buildings in the world in the 20th century.
The most colorful building-Sagrada Familia Cathedral
Sagrada Familia Cathedral is Gaudi's most painstaking work in his life. Maybe he knows he won't see it finished in his lifetime. Gaudi never rushes to work. He personally supervised and tried to make every detail perfect. Until today, the cathedral has not been completely built. Now the builder is the fifth generation, and Gaudi is buried in the underground tomb here, guarding it forever.
Sagrada Familia Cathedral breaks through the traditional Christian model and forms a symbolic complex structure combination with spiral piers, hyperbolic side walls and domed hyperbolic parabolic roofs. In the upper part of the church, four conical towers with a height of 105 meters are towering into the sky, showing immortal gods like monuments. At the top of the tower is a grotesque persimmon with sharp leaves. The whole tower is covered with shutters, which looks like a hollow vase. The sculpture outside the church is exquisite and unique, so real that it seems to come directly from the wall. Both the Jesus on the cross and the theme sculpture created according to biblical stories have strong visual impact. Some people say that Gaudi of Sagrada Familia Cathedral is more like a sculptor.
When Gaudi designed the interior decoration of the church, he tried his best to portray the characters in the Bible stories as authentic. To this end, he took great pains to find the right real person to be a model. It is said that he found a church gatekeeper to describe Judas, and finally found a six-fingered man to describe the centurion who slaughtered children. In addition, in order to show the image of hundreds of babies slaughtered by the cruel and heartless Jewish king Herod on the front of a door, he deliberately went to look for the dead babies, made plaster models and hung them under the ceiling of the workshop, which made the workers feel creepy. Therefore, even if people who know nothing about Christianity stand in front of Sagrada Familia, they will be impressed by its magnificent and peculiar carving texture and cannot calm their inner shock. I don't think Gaudi is an educator, but he knows this very well. This irresistible educational environment is the best proof, which shows his piety and spreads his thoughts.
Anthony? Gaudi, in his dictionary, straight lines have become dull, boring and even evil, and only curves are natural, vivid and true. He enjoys gentle turns, curved planes and tangled lines, and is determined to innovate in architectural structure. Strange shapes, complicated and colorful details, and never-suppressed creative impulse and enthusiasm will always gush out, which is overwhelming. You may like him, admire him, hate him and spit on him, but you won't have no feelings for him, because he is always so flamboyant, strong, bold and even a little reckless and shocking. What is hidden in the suffocating perceptual visual impact is his rational speculation, which coincides with the rigorous mathematical logic. Therefore, I like Gaudi and the multidimensional space he created. Sometimes I even think that if I live in Gaudi's house, Snow White will never be forced to leave, and Cinderella won't have to worry about midnight, because the castle they live in is a myth and only has the most perfect ending.
