Antoni Gaudi and Organic structures


These are photographs and sketches from Gaudi's buildings in Barcelona. I find Gaudi's work to be helpful and inspirational because it is full of organic shapes and structures and it often seems to defy what is possible for architecture. His work is very whimsical and interesting.
















The following are a series of different buildings.
These buildings give inspiration for how more organic structures are built.
































These are my first drawings for my building. The last drawing is where I have ended up. I want to make a building that has the elements of my unit of measure in it, but at the same time I don't want it to be so obvious. My idea is that this building would be a home. The home is a very personal space. This is a place where you choose carefully who enters or who stays. I want certain elements of this home to seem unstable. The stairs leading up and the "posts" that hold up the top of the building.
