I’ve really enjoyed your Gaudi series, especially the interiors. Lovely, and a remarkable legacy for the city.

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the series. Still one to go – La Pedrera. i agree that it is a remarkable legacy for the city. There are more World Heritage buildings in Barcelona than Paris, which is quite extraordinary when you think of it!

I have mixed reactions to these photos you have been sharing, occasionally I feel it’s just too much but mostly I feel uplifted and awestruck by the playfulness of the forms and decorations which bely the underlying functions. How wonderful that there were those families who could take the risk commissioning Gaudi’s visions!

I understand your mixed reactions. That is how I felt when I saw the Sagrada Familia from the outside. But somehow these buildings fit into the Barcelona cityscape remarkably well. You can find some of the same sort of interior details in the beautiful Art Deco mansions in Nancy. Inside, it’s surprising, but none of the decoration seems over the top, although it looks like it from the photos. There are other Gaudi buildings in Leon and Majorca in particular that I would now like to see.
oh my – this is so beautiful and fantastic! It would be like living in a surrealist film. I love the waves in the wood – especially in the first picture at the bottom of the staircase. So gorgeous!
