Parc Guell - Barcelona

Parc Guell - Barcelona

Gaudi's patron, Eusebi Guell, planned a suburban "city." His property was high above Barcelona, northwest and some distance from the city. More than 60 housing plots were allocated although only two homes were built on the property. The project was radical for its time and, as a real estate project, was a failure. The Barcelona City Council bought the property in 1922 and in the following year converted it to a municipal park.

Gaudi avoided levelling the grounds so that the Park Guell has a network of twisting roads which follow the contours of the land.

The lowest point is the entrance, from which a double staircase leads to the hypostyle chamber, the ceiling of which serves as the floor of the huge public square.
Outlying areas have imaginative viaducts and colonnades, which in their design evoke natural forms.

la possibilita' di ingannare la statica , e' la prerogrativa del parco.
gaudi' lascia al mondo la possibilita' di incontrarsi e dividere leemozioni senza dover parlare.
la domanda in spognolo puo' aver una risposta in francese o in tedesco, tanto e comunque l'interrogativo e' intuibile e la
risposta e' univoca.
"jo sòc geòmetra, que vol dir sintètic" e' comunque sempre la risposta.
merlino
l'evoluzione delle forme a dispetto delle condizioni conosciute della struttura in quanto tale, mi emozionanano al punto di credere che un uomo semplice, come dice, abbia potuto trasmettere attraverso la modifica delle forme,l'evolversi crescente dell'animo umano senza paura di ciò che può uscire definitivamente dal cambiamento avendo la consapevolezza che su ogni base certa si può modificare la forma senza annullarne la struttura stessa. Lo spirito si evolve e gode nel vedere cotanta meraviglia spirituale e strutturale nella sagrada familia.

Please be prepared to do alot of walking when you go to park guell. While here you must visit the Gaudi museum and take a walk though the park to understand why Gaudi decided to keep to the landscape unlevelled.
Pack a picnic as shops are few.
lots of dog walkers in this park and they are not on leashes.
My daughter tells me the Cheetah Girls have been here, so this will be a place for both old and young the Metro station is quite a walk away. You will have to go up some very steep streets to get to the park so no silly shoes.
