Week 2: Barcelona 18/10/07
















Our trip to Barcelona was very crucial to our project. We had four days to look at the architecture, the type of factors we were looking for where mainly in the back alleys leading away from the main streets. we took pictures of brickwork, old buildings, so that it would give us a good sense of a colour pallet and how to structure our buildings. The picture shown here signifies the type of look we are going for in our environment. The way in which the light is positioned and how the light effects the rest of the buildings.


















I took some pictures of brick textures, particularly older bricks to see how they look. This picture I took of the bricks helped me to see not just the textures but the type of colour pallet it has.



















I took interest in this building because of the extraordinary pattern which has been designed on it. In our group we had also talked about how we might have clothes hanging from the line in our environment. You can also clearly observe that this particular building is quite old in itself, there is dust trail coming from each of the windows and the pattern on the building is quite faded.


















This is a picture of a courtyard we found in Barcelona, it was quite modernized and the place was filled with restaurants around the edges. The factor which struck me to this piece was the fountain in the middle of the courtyard. The detail was very classic it had a Renaissance feel to it.
