Barcelona Art Nouveau

Resumen del Libro

London is famous for Big Ben; Paris for the Eiffel Tower; Rome for the Colosseum. Barcelona, on the other hand, is not identified by one or two famous buildings as these other European cities, but rather by an entire movement of turn-of-the-century architecture known simply as Modernisme. Familiar to Americans as art nouveau, its most famous practitioner was the artist and architect Antoni Gaudi. But the city is filled with superb examples of art nouveau in vivid color in Barcelona Art Nouveau. This book offers a tour of 46 houses, public buildings, and monuments in the art-nouveau style, including brand-new photographs of the work of Gaudi. Visit the famous literary cafe Els Quarte Gats, which was once patronized by Pablo Picasso, who also designed the menu. Lose yourself in the whimsical curves of Casa Josep Batllo, a wonderful example of the combination of artisan tradition and richness that exemplifies art nouveau. These structures, fully restored to pristine condition for the 1992 Olympics, have been rediscovered by both foreigners and Barcelonans alike, and are captured inside and out in this fascinating record of the adventurous, undulating designs of an exciting era.

Dibujar El Espacio

Un par de sencillos trazos sobre el papel pueden generar algo tan complejo como la ilusión de espacio, un maravilloso efecto de tridimensionalidad que puede sofisticarse hasta el infinito ya sea para intentar reproducir la realidad visible, ya sea para inventarnos una nueva. Peter Boerboom y Tim Proetel han recopilado y clasifi cado en este libro los métodos básicos de representación del espacio para ayudarnos a conocerlos de manera práctica e intuitiva. Una propuesta dirigida tanto a dibujantes inexpertos como avanzados que permitirá tomar conciencia de todos aquellos recursos visuales ...

Arquitectura y diseño

Soy usuaria agradecida. Por su utilidad indiscutible, pero igualmente por el placer que me causa la brevísima dinámica de una marca, lo gozoso de un envoltorio, la misteriosa belleza de un libro cerrado y la responsable lucidez cuando está abierto, la solidaria claridad de una señalización, la pautada sensualidad de la tipografía, el juego enunciativo de una gráfica cinematográfica o televisiva, lo amenamente comunicativo de un pictograma o arquigrafía, en el animado y perseverante buen servicio del diseño informativo. Vivo entre todos estos fenómenos, lo necesito y permanentemente ...
