Torre Bellesguard, la bella vista de Gaudí sobre Barcelona, la casa modernista más desconocida

Gaudí siempre sorprende, incluso con obras que llevan más de un siglo construidas, pero que, al no ser posible su visita por el gran público, han permanecido en el anonimato, como ocurre con la Casa Figueras, más conocida como Torre Bellesguard.

You know how fantasy worlds are almost always based on (mostly Central and Northern) European Medieval aesthetic and folklore?

For a while I’ve been thinking that if we had a fantasy world made here, it would be interesting to have it be inspired by Modernisme (the Catalan artistic movement from the late 19th century - early 20th century). I mean, look at this and tell me it doesn’t have potential:

Interior of the Sagrada Família basilica, Barcelona. The stained glass in different sides of the temple are different colours, so the light changes colour depending on the hour of the day. (Photo sources x x)

Illa de la Discòrdia, Barcelona. x

Benches in Parc Güell (Barcelona), made with the “trencadís”, the typical mosaic used in many of Antoni Gaudí’s works (he’s one of the most famous Modernist architects, and one of the most famous Catalan architects of all times too). x

A hall in Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona. x

Ceiling of Palau de la Música Catalana, a concert hall in Barcelona.

Lots of these things. This one is in Argentona (Catalonia, too). x

And fashion would be like this:

Stained glass in Cerdanyola, Catalonia. x

Illustrations by Gaspar Camps.

More stained glass, now in Museu del Modernisme, Barcelona. x

Modernist jewels by Lluís Masriera (I’ve talked about Modernist jewels in this previous post). x

Even the furniture:

x

Interior of Casa Amatller in Barcelona. x.

Even in wood looked pretty.

x

And lots of cool windows inspired by nature!

And from outside

Olot, Catalonia. x.

And of course all kinds of windows. Light is important!

Torre Bellesguard. x.

Barcelona. x.

This ceiling in Palau Güell with holes to let light in. x.

And this lamp?? Also in Palau Güell. x.

Everything would have to be very curvy.

Casa Milà, Barcelona. x.

And shops

This bakery in Palma, Mallorca. x.

And I won’t begin with the tiles to not make the post longer...

What do you think?

And for people from other countries, what element in your culture do you think a fantasy world could be based on, aesthetically?

Update: so I talked about tiles.

Moda & Estilo: As Botas Favoritas de Shakira

Na semana passada, quando Shakira apareceu deslumbrante para uma audiência em Madri, um detalhe chamou a atenção dos antenados em moda. No visual sóbrio da cantora, um lindo par de botas de couro dava um charme especial ao figurino escolhido pela artista.  Um olho mais atento certamente percebeu que a peça já é figurinha carimbada nos looks de Shakira, seja em aparições públicas ou em sua vida privada. Não é novidade que a cantora é gente como a gente e reaproveita diversas peças dos looks montados por seus stylists. Também não é novidade que com certa frequência ela incorpora diversas destas peças, planejadas para sua figura artística, ao seu guarda-roupas pessoal e as botas Candy Stud-Trim Ankle boots, da marca Saint Laurent, são um grande exemplo disto.

Lançadas na coleção 2016 da marca (que na época ainda se chamava Yves Saint Laurent) as botas de couro contam com aplicações ao longo de todo o salto plataforma e no momento se encontram esgotadas, já que a marca não reabastece o mercado com peças de coleções passadas. No entanto, seu preço médio na época de seu lançamento girava em torno de 1200 dólares.

A primeira vez que Shakira calçou as botas foi para a filmagem do clipe de ‘Chantaje’. Na ocasião, como de costume, seus looks foram combinados pela stylist Marjan Malakpour.

Depois disso, Shakira já calçou as botas nas mais diversas situações. Algumas vezes em ocasiões pessoais, como nas imagens abaixo, onde aparece fotografada nas ruas de Barcelona acompanhada de Piqué ou em um aeroporto durante sua passagem pelo Brasil:

#gallery-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Ela também incorporou as botas em alguns dos looks usados durante a curta divulgação do disco ‘El Dorado’ (perceba que por mais de uma vez ela repete o look completo) e até mesmo em um evento para divulgar uma parceria com o Barcelona FC, no qual ainda repete o blazer de renda do clipe de ‘Can’t Remember To Forget You’:

#gallery-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Finalmente, as botas, agora, já bastante usadas, também aparecem no ensaio feito por ela e Maluma para a revista Billboard, em abril de 2018. Para este ensaio, fotografado na Torre Bellesguard em Barcelona, mais uma vez Marjan Malakpour criou as combinações, o que provavelmente justifica a inclusão das peças.

#gallery-6 { margin: auto; } #gallery-6 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-6 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-6 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

O julgamento da última semana provavelmente não deve ser a última vez em que Shakira calçou as botas, que certamente parecem ter tomado o lugar das Louboutins que ela usou repetidamente por alguns anos. Diva sustentável e econômica, Shakira ainda deve demorar a aposentar as icônicas botas de Chantaje. Afinal, estas peças custam todas muito caro para serem usadas apenas uma vez, certo?

Must Visit Antoni Gaudi Buildings in Barcelona

Antoni Gaudí was famous in the whole world as one of the most influential architects in Barcelona. The reason being, he made the city unique with his thoroughly different designs, and created his name as one of the best Modernisme architects. This fame was earned particularly due to his signature Trencadís technique.

In today’s post, we’re bringing to you 10 of Gaudi’s must-see masterpieces in Barcelona.

Sagrada Familia

The idea for this magnificent creation called Sagrada Família was inspired by the traditions of Byzantine and Gothic cathedrals. The purpose of this was to communicate the Christian beliefs and message of the Evangelists through the structure’s design. He amalgamated the idea of Christian elements, logical structure and architecture, with elements of nature, light and color included.

Presently there are 18 towers, each of them having its own significance – Jesus Christ, four Gospels, the Virgin Mary, and twelve Apostles. Gaudí integrated senses of verticality and elevation in the process. The building was completed with branching columns, vibrant stained glass windows, and skylights for the cathedral. This glorious construction is indeed one of his most well-known works till date.

 Casa Vicens

Casa Vicens was the very first house designed by Gaudí and is considered to be one of the very first buildings of Art Nouveau. It was intended to be the home of Manel Vicens I Montaner in the village named Gràcia. This structure is considered to be the root of his architectural style. Gaudí supposedly rose to the challenge of the perfect summer home creation that would look like it’s from some other world.

Presenting contrasting hues on four floors throughout, it showcases a castle-style with multiple turrets and slim windows. After fifteen years of its completion, the house was sold, and was radically changed and converted by its new owner. Fortunately, ever since that time, it has been restored as similar as possible to Gaudí’s original design. You’ll have a hard time forgetting the Casa Vicens as it displays Oriental and Moorish elements within the interior.

Artigas Gardens

The Artigas Gardens were built as a thank you to a textile magnate who allowed Antoni Gaudi to stay at his chalet. They have established themselves as one of Gaudí’s masterpieces. He integrated his own signature themes into his design using the natural elements of land: Christian symbolism, arches, stonework, and a grotto. In recent years, the Artigas Gardens were restored to their former glory and are considered the perfect place to spend an afternoon.

Torre Bellesguard

This stunning design by Gaudi called Torre Bellesguard was created with Gothic and Modernism inspirations in mind. As Jaume Figueras commissioned it, he didn’t just have a house in mind, but many great things. What he aspired for was a monumental complex. The old medieval palace needed to be restored and restructured, and a viaduct was also needed to be made.

Gaudí used slate for tones of grey, green, and beige on the exterior, displaying a truly medieval feel upon starting the Bellesguard Villa. The Trencadís technique was integrated into the design of the doors and windows, making sure that this structure truly stands out. In addition, the Star of Venus which is a 3D stained glass window in multiple vibrant tones was also included. Elements like the inspiration from the central nave of Sagrada Família, which was the previous project of Gaudi, helped to complete this building.

Casa Milà or La Pedrera/The Quarry House

Casa Milà considered both everyday functionality and decorative freedom in its design, quite like the Palau Güell. It was named La Pedrera, which means stone quarry, because the exterior is similar to an open quarry, and was an inspiration of nature. It is entirely distinctive from other architectures of its time as it presents a curved façade. Making actual air conditioning obsolete, the interior was designed as a natural ventilation system.

The inside is also designed like the exterior, with rounded shapes throughout and hardly any right angles within it. The focal point of this building is undoubtedly the roof with stunning views, its distinctive chimneys, and ventilation shafts in varying vibrant tones. The house is named Gaudí room or the Espai Gaudí, completed with its own personal Gaudí museum which is located in the attic.

College of the Teresians

This project was passed over to Gaudí in 1889. The original architect of this building is unknown. This was made up of three buildings and designed in the shape of a ‘U’. Being Gaudí’s second work already in progress, with masterful skill and a limited budget, he somehow managed to complete the building in less than two years! This structure was designed with emblems of Catholicism and a medieval air in mind. The most memorable elements of this building include multiple uses of the initial ‘T’ in reference to the saint in question, the parabolic shapes throughout, and the way that light and shadow are played by him in this design. Despite having served a function in the education system of Barcelona, this development of Gaudí’ is not very famous.

Casa Batlló

The Casa Batllo is easily among Antoni Gaudí’s most appreciated works. With Casa Batlló, we’d like to think we’ve saved the best for the last. Gaudí was always provided full creative freedom with this structure and he’s completely done justice to it by converting it into a true work of art both inside and out. This building is instantly recognizable as the exterior features multiple tones through both the façade and the roof. Moreover, there were a lot of interior changes and windows being added in order to bring more light into the building for its residents.

Casa Batlló sticks well to Gaudí’s established theme of decoration and function, while it maintains a dreamlike construction with a varied color palette which looks vibrant. It also has a tall and curved silhouette. It is truly a must-see when on a Gaudí excursion and forever remains as one of his most iconic works.

Torre Bellesguard, la bella vista de Gaudí sobre Barcelona, la casa modernista más desconocida

Gaudí siempre sorprende, incluso con obras que llevan más de un siglo construidas, pero que, al no ser posible su visita por el gran público, han permanecido en el anonimato, como ocurre con la Casa Figueras, más conocida como Torre Bellesguard.

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet o Antonio Gaudí1​2​3​4​5​ (Reus o Riudoms,6​ 25 de junio de 1852-Barcelona, 10 de junio de 1926) fue un arquitecto español, máximo representante del modernismo catalán.

Gaudí fue un arquitecto con un sentido innato de la geometría y el volumen, así como una gran capacidad imaginativa que le permitía proyectar mentalmente la mayoría de sus obras antes de pasarlas a planos.

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet

 Fotografía tomada por Pau Audouard a Antoni Gaudí i Cornet en 1878.

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet; fue un reconocido arquitecto, máximo representante del modernismo, que realizó la mayoría de su obra en la Ciudad de Barcelona. Nació el veinticinco de junio de mil ochocientos cincuenta y dos (1852), en Reus, Tarragona. 

Hijo de Francesc Gaudí i Serra y de Antònia Cornet i Bertran, era el pequeño de cinco hermanos, de los que sólo tres llegaron a la edad adulta. 

Provenía de una familia de caldereros, hecho que le permitió al joven Gaudí adquirir una habilidad especial para tratar el espacio y el volumen, mientras ayudaba en el taller familiar. 

Gaudí; fue un niño de salid delicada, permanecía largas temporadas de reposo en el campo, donde pasaba horas contemplando la naturaleza que tanto lo inspiró. 

Desde muy joven ya empezó a mostrar interés por la arquitectura. Por ello en el sesenta y ocho, se trasladó a Barcelona con su hermano mayor, donde terminó el bachillerato y realizó los cursos de preparación para ingresar en la Escuela de Arquitectura. 

Gaudí era un estudiante bastante irregular, pero que ya manifestaba su buena mano. 

Entre el setenta y cinco (1875) y el setenta y ocho (1878) realizó el servicio militar, que coincidió con la tercera guerra Carlista, pero a causa de su salud, no tuvo que entrar en combate y pudo continuar estudiando. 

Mil ochocientos setenta y seis (1876) fue un año triste para Gaudí, su madre y su hermano fallecieron y su padre se trasladó con él a Barcelona. 

Gaudí; obtuvo el título de Arquitecto en mil ochocientos setenta y ocho (1878) y se estableció por su cuenta en un despacho propio, donde arrancaría su inimitable legado arquitectónico. 

La Barcelona de finales de siglo XIX estaba en un momento floreciente, en plena revolución industrial. Este era buen caldo de cultivo para un joven arquitecto, que vio como se abrieron numerosas puertas para realizar sus proyectos. 

Gaudí conoció poco después de graduarse al empresario Eusebi Güell, con quien inició una relación de amistad y profesional de por vida. 

Gran parte de las obras de Gaudí, fueron encargos de Güell, pero además de los trabajos para la familia Güell, Antoni Gaudí recibió gran cantidad de encargos y planteó innumerables proyectos. 

En mil ochocientos ochenta y tres (1883), Gaudí aceptó un proyecto que lo marcaría para siempre, el de la construcción de la Catedral de la Sagrada Familia. Con las obras recién iniciadas, el arquitecto modificó totalmente el diseño inicial, convirtiéndola en su obra más conocida y admirada en todo el mundo. 

Gaudí muestra la Sagrada Familia al nunciopapal, el cardenal Francesco Ragonesi en 1915. Gaudí fue considerado el Dante de la arquitectura por Monsegnor Ragonesi.

En su primera etapa de juventud, marcada por una revisión de la arquitectura gótica y musulmana, se incluyen edificios como la Casa Vicens, El Capricho, Los Pabellones de la Finca Güell, el Colegio de las Teresianas, el Palacio Episcopal de Astorga, La Casa de los Botines y la Cripta de la Sagrada Familia, entre otros. 

Gaudí no tardó en desarrollar su propio estilo y su ascensión como uno de los arquitectos modernistas más destacados fue rápida. 

En la última década del siglo XIX, con la finalización del palacio Güell, ya era un reconocido arquitecto. 

De mil ochocientos noventa (1890) en adelante, Gaudí perfeccionó el dominio del espacio y las artes aplicadas hasta convertir su arte en algo único e insólito. Se trata de la etapa de madurez de Gaudí, donde las grandes obras se sucedieron una detrás de otra. 

La Torre BellesGuard, el Parc Güell (famosa por la salamandra), la restauración de la catedral de Mallorca, la Iglesia de la colonia Güell, la casa de Batlló, La Pedrera, la Fachada del Nacimiento de la Sagrada Familia. 

A partir de mil novecientos dos (1902), los diseños de Antoni Gaudí comenzaron a desafiar la clasificación estilística convencional. 

Curiosamente; el esplendor de la arquitectura de Gaudí, coincidió con un progresivo retraimiento personal, alejándose cada vez más de la vida social, a la vez que desarrollaba su sentimiento religioso. 

En mil novecientos catorce (1914) abandonó todas las demás obras para concentrarse en la sagrada familia, templo que quedó sin finalizar. 

Murió el diez de junio de mil novecientos veintiséis (1926), a pocas semanas de su septuagésimo cuarto cumpleaños, a consecuencia de las heridas sufridas al ser atropellado por un tranvía. 

Debido a su aspecto sencillo no lo reconocieron y lo llevaron demasiado tarde al hospital de la Santa Cruz, donde falleció. Fue enterrado en la cripta de la sagrada familia, después de un multitudinario funeral. 

En la actualidad, la figura de Gaudí es Internacionalmente reconocida. Gran parte de sus trabajos están considerados patrimonio de la humanidad y su obra de estilo orgánico basado en la naturaleza, se encuentra entre las más admiradas de la arquitectura de todos los tiempos.
