Natural forms has been an interest of mine for a long time but this interest has been more subliminal until recently. This theme itself runs into almost everything from wallpaper and clothes to anthropometric data and ergonomics. Everybody can relate to it, at least a little bit.

Antoni Gaudi: La Pedrara

Gaudi's 'La Pedrera' is situated in in the Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona. Gaudi designed this building partially, along side Josep Maria Jujol. the building contains many innovative work for architecture, like its self-supporting facade and underground car park.




   This is the roof of the building, made it the one of most interesting buildings I've ever been to.

In the loft of the building there are models and videos showing how the building was made. Looking at these was really inspiring, and are probably the aspects I remember the most from my visit. In display cases there were his inspirations from natural forms, e.g. Snake skeleton, femur bone and honeycomb.
