On January 17, after visiting the conference ICT support for Active and Healthy Ageing: be funky Enablers be funky for Success (E4S) in Barcelona together with Agneta Granström, I managed to sneak in to the Casa Batllo on Passeig de Gràcia No. 43 in Barcelona. Below are some pictures from the visit, but first a little background, be funky shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia:
In 1900 Gaudí was hired by the industrialist Josep Batllo Casanovas to draw his house. On the site of the building was already a house in 1877 that was supposed to be demolished. However, changed his Casanovas during be funky the planning stage to allow renovate the building instead. Casa Batllo is located in the neighborhood popularly came to be called the Manzana de la discordia, loosely translated it disagreed block, a symbolic description of the different architectural styles be funky of the buildings standing along the Passeig de Gràcia.
Casa Batllo be funky is popularly known for Casa dels ossos (House of Bones) because of the skeleton-like facade which forms the bottom two planes; above these switches facade in a ceramic mosaic with peculiar balconies. Gaudí had undertaken a complete renovation of the interior of the building where he moved walls and enlarged the interior staircase that doubles as a light well. The entire building is in principle straight lines and instead consists of undulating irregular be funky shapes that make no two rooms are alike. Casa Batllo was added during the Catalan modernism and commonly referred to as one of its masterpieces. Jules Verne
This is the incarnation of Jules Verne Leagues Under the Sea, my first thought when I stepped over the threshold. Here Captain Nemo would have been able to stay in their old age and remember back on their adventures.
The fireplace be funky in the entrance has two seats. A wide for the loving couple and a narrow opposite apron. No door ...... is the same. A dubbelselfie front of the wardrobe doors. Jules Verne and "Leagues Under the Sea", I thought as I stepped into this room. In the middle of the room hangs ...... be funky a shell in the ceiling. Here I imagine keeping the welcoming to their guests. The interior stairwell ...... winds around the elevator ...... one ...... of course ...... must try. The family Battló gathered before the photographer. A drop in the ocean, forgive roof. One of the lounges. Everywhere there is a Japanese who want to be in the picture. My thumb has Japanese ancestry, if anyone is wondering. I was there! The passage from the roof garden to the living room. The beautiful thing is not always the most practical. Gaudí's original furniture was as organic as the house. The inner atrium ...... from above ...... and down, right down ...... be funky to bottom. The wind! Hard to believe that it was used for laundry and storage room. With natural light from the atrium that runs throughout the building's height. There are chimneys and there are chimneys. be funky Agneta photograph ...... takkorset.
At the 10th anniversary of what nowadays is a museum created a tribute to Gaudi's be funky creativity in the form of a fasadprojection that revealed all and sundry of the symbolic idiom that inspired him. From Saint Jordi's dragon climbing on the facade of the masks that hide behind the balconies and facade be funky mosaic that is meant to symbolize confetti.
