Where Gumbo Was #51
Congratulations to PortMoresby for recognizing that this market place is in Park Guell in Barcelona. The park was designed by the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. He is best known for designing in the Modernisme style. One identifying feature of modernisme is using “organic” shapes and angles that are not square.
Park Guell is decorated with many mosiacs and and round edged shapes:
He also designed several buildings in Barcelona. One is Casa Battlo. In this building he used curved lines almost everywhere:
Another building he designed is La Pedrera, which translates as “The Stone”
A new Where in the World comes tomorrow – See where Gumbo travels to next.
