To me a piece of art is not only a
painting, as an architecture student I am always interested on new projects
around the world but there are two that really affected me in my decision to
study this career.
The first one I consider it a piece of art
because it is a unique plastic work that is not seen anywhere else and by the
time it was built it became so polemic about its esthetic and the new change it
represented; it is “Casa Batló”, also called as “Casa de los huesos” from my
favorite architect Antonio Gaudí . It is a pure element of expression of the
modernism in Spain and it is based in the elements of nature, there is a pallet
of colors in the facade that brings to life the building and it has become one
of the most attractive points to see in Barcelona.
The other proyect I consider a piece of art
is the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, it was made by Frank O.Ghery who is also a
seeker of organic architecture, he always tries to combine nature and
architecture which is one of the reasons I most like it. I think the first time
I saw a pictue of it was when I was little, when my grandfather brought me a
postcard from a trip he made to Spain to see his village which is near Bilbao
and I was so amazed by its beauty that it instantly became my favorite
architecture/ piece of art ever. I would love to achieve a goal like this two
architects some day and leave a piece of me somewhere forever.
Gaudí was a genius, what he was able to achieve on his buildings was both unique and also very deep on its concept and technique. Gehry's architecture I think is unique but not half as deep as Gaudí's was.
ResponderEliminarOh, what wonderful constructions!! are really interest like the art mixed with the arquitecture.
ResponderEliminarI am not student of architecture but the pieces of arts are very specials because I think that It has a creation from soul
