Barcelona的功课Part 1

还有一个月就要去巴塞罗纳朝圣了，本来是一个人自助旅行想随便走，但是现在有一个马来西亚女生和我一起去玩，就不能随便了，还是要做些功课～


基本上我想去的地方都是和Gaudi有关，这些比迪士尼梦幻十倍的建筑物我一定要在那里流连忘返、刻下名字、採花扑蝶等……

Casa Milà
这种设计是怪人才做得出来，每次看别人拍的照片总觉得好像经过photoshop twist，我要到那里亲眼看看是不是Gaudi的眼睛被twist了。

The design by Gaudi was not followed in some aspects. The local government objected to some aspects of the project, fined the owners for many infractions of regulations, ordered the demolition of aspects exceeding the height standard for the city, and refused to approve the installation of a huge sculpture atop the building—described as "the Virgin"—but said by Gijs Van Hensbergen in his biography of Gaudi, to represent the primeval earth goddess, Gaia. [1]

Sagrada Família
下次做设计，一定要备份，一定一定要，不然就是让世人拼拼凑凑，勉强得到一份大略图。
还有我以为工程做得慢是因为没有设计图，原来是不够经费～

The Sagrada Familia was designed by Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), who worked on the project for over 40 years. Gaudi devoted the last 15 years of his life entirely to the endeavor. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2026. On the subject of the extremely long construction period, Gaudí is said to have remarked, "My client is not in a hurry." After Gaudí's death in 1926, work continued under the direction of Domènech Sugranyes until interrupted by the Spanish Civil War in 1936.

Park Güell
又是Gaudi，哈哈哈～～基本上我是去参观花园，这么大这么奢华，到底他的脑袋装的成分是什么啊？我只能说天才的想象力都很辽阔，无穷无尽，但时间就是不够他们用。

The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site, the idea of Count Eusebi Güell, whom the park was named after. It was inspired by the English garden city movement; hence the original English name Park (in the Catalan language spoken in Catalonia where Barcelona is located, the word for "Park" is "Parc", and the name of the place is "Parc Güell" in its origin language). The site was a rocky hill with little vegetation and few trees, called Montaña Pelada (Bare Mountain). It already included a large country house called Larrard House or Muntaner de Dalt House, and was next to a neighborhood of upper class houses called La Salud. The intention was to exploit the fresh air (well away from smoky factories) and beautiful views from the site, with sixty triangular lots being provided for luxury houses. Count Eusebi Güell added to the prestige of the development by moving in 1906 to live in Larrard House. Ultimately, only two houses were built, neither designed by Gaudí. One was intended to be a show house, but on being completed in 1904 was put up for sale, and as no buyers came forward, Gaudí, at Güell's suggestion, bought it with his savings and moved in with his family and his father in 1906.^[1]

Palau Güell
Gaudi这和Guell合作很多次呢，但这是屋子，一样也是古古怪怪…………你看为什么要有这么多烟囱啊？？？

Güell Palace was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 2 November 1984 for its contribution and influence on technique and form in modern 20th-century building and for its remarkable creative character.

After it became the property of Barcelona Provincial Council, the building underwent restoration work to house the Institut del Teatre and its museum. In 1996, once the Institut del Teatre had moved to new premises, the Palace was opened to the public and for many years drew visitors from around the globe who were interested in Gaudí’s work.

La Boqueria
Barcelona的菜市场十分出名，因为他们神奇的蔬菜水果排列法会让旅客大开眼界，加上可以看到居民的日常生活，值得看看～

The Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, often simply referred to as La Boqueria, is a large public market in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and one of the city's foremost tourist landmarks, with an entrance from La Rambla, not far from the Liceu, Barcelona's opera house. The market has a very diverse selection of goods.

Monumento a Colón

The Columbus Monument (Monument a Colom in Catalan, also known as the Monumento a Colón and Mirador de Colón in Spanish) is a 60 m (197 ft) tall monument for Christopher Columbus at the lower end of La Rambla, Barcelona, Spain. It was constructed for the Exposición Universal de Barcelona and is located at the site where Columbus returned to Spain after his first voyage to the Americas.^[1] The monument serves as a reminder that Barcelona is where Christopher Columbus reported to Queen Isabella and Ferdinand after Columbus' most famous trip.[2]

Casa Batlló
另一个名字叫“骨之家”，听了真的是毛骨悚然～～～
其实这是一条沉睡的龙…………恐怖啊～～

The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), and indeed it does have a visceral, skeletal organic quality. It was originally designed for a middle-class family and situated in a prosperous district of Barcelona.

The building looks very remarkable — like everything Gaudí designed, only identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. The ground floor, in particular, is rather astonishing with tracery, irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone work.

It seems that the goal of the designer was to avoid straight lines completely. Much of the façade is decorated with a mosaic made of broken ceramic tiles (trencadís) that starts in shades of golden orange moving into greenish blues. The roof is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or dinosaur. A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre, terminating at the top in a turret and cross, represents the sword of Saint George (patron saint of Catalonia), which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.

Anilla Olímpica
有时间的话就去走走咯～看路线而定。

暂时只想到去这些地方，迟点再做路线～～看着地图旅行一向是我的强项，不过这次全都是西班牙文，有点头昏脑胀～
