The twentieth century, perhaps more than any other, marked a period where architects experimented with form and took their inspiration from various sources.
Casa Batllo, located in the heart of Barcelona in Spain, was designed by Antoni Gaudi and built in the years 1905 - 1907. It was originally designed for a middle-class family and situated in a prosperous district of Barcelona. It is now a museum.
The building is remarkable, like virtually everything Gaudi designed. It seems that his goal was to avoid straight lines completely-the front of the house is all wavy lines. The ground floor in particular is astonishing, with irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone work. (82)
There are various opinions about the symbolism; some people say it is a poetic vision of the sea, whilst others say carnival scenes are represented.
(83)
Most likely, however, is that Gaudi was thinking of a huge dragon, with the roof being the dragon’s curved back, given that this was a recurring theme in his work.
City hall in London is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority and the Mayor of London. It stands on the south bank of the River Thames. Designed by Norman foster, it opened in July, 2002.
(84)
The building has an unusual bulbous shape, which reduces the surface area and thus improves energy efficiency, since less heat is lost to the outside.
It has been variously compared to Darth Vader’s helmet, a misshapen egg or a motorcycle helmet. The building has no front or back in conventional terms, but derives its shape from a modified sphere.
A 500 - metre walkway goes right to the very top of the ten-storey building, where there is an exhibition and meeting space called " London’s Living Room". The living room opens onto a viewing deck which is occasionally open to the public, (85)
The walkway provides views of the interior of the building, and is intended to symbolize transparency of government.
A similar device was used by Foster in his design for the rebuilt Reichstag in Germany. [br]
