MOST FAMOUS WORKS

CASA MILA

CASA BATLLO

PARK GUELL

LA SAGRADA FAMILIA

INFLUENCED BY NATURAL FORMS

Casa Mila’s Façade resembles a cliff face sculpted by waves and its wrought iron bal-conies looks like seaweed

Casa Batllo main windows supported by stone columns shaped like bones

Sagrada Familia interior shows tree trunk columns Which provide stability and strength

Casa Batllo ceiling in the main room resembles shell like features

STAINED GLASS

CERAMICS

WROUGHT IRONWOOD

MATERIALS

Specifically chose to change the shape of the windows because Gaudi’s designs show a break be-tween tradition-al lines and forms

Elements: -stain glass -Curvilinear shaped windows

WINDOW FACADE

-Gaudi is well known for his bench’s at park guell so I want-ed to incorporate that into my space

-Kept the theme with the free flowing windows and continued them into the arch

-Fireplace was inspired from the fireplace in the main room at casa batllo

-Lights inspired from sagrada fa-milia

-Wanted to express the idea that things are in constant motion

FIREPLACE FACADE

Influenced from the columns in the sagrada familia

Model : used as a starting point

Sketched my model multiple times un-til I could figure out a way to ma-nipulate it so it could work in the space

MODEL PROCESS

First attempt: -ended up creating multiple abstract tubular-like pieces

-decided it wasnt GAUDI enough, i wanted to go bigger.

Second attempt:-Began to turn tubular struc-tures into architectural sculpture pieces that ended up resembling the leaning columns on the facade of the sagrada familia

SPATIAL PROCESS

PERSPECTIVE PROCESS

How can i be-gin to pull it all together as one space rather than as a series of exsisting ele-ments

FINAL EXHIBITION SPACE

Materials:

-Mosaic ceramic tile-Stained glass windows-Sandstone colour walls-Wooden sculptures

Intention of my exhibition was to create a space that expressed antoni gaudi as an artist and more specifically his distinctive style. Since he was so heavily influenced by his passion of nature, it was essential that I incor-porate architectural elements that expressed that as well
