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.

Biblos Arquitectura Simbólica

Tal como enseñan todas las doctrinas y filosofías tradicionales, el Universo es un hecho simbólico. Dice un proverbio árabe que todo puede ser reducido a símbolos, excepto Tufân el aliento de fuego. Se dice que existe, en la causa primera, una fuente más antigua de símbolos cercana al fuego y al agua de vida, concepto próximo al simbolismo coránico del agua del mundo árabe. El pensamiento simbólico de los primeros pueblos indoeuropeos veían en muchas deidades la manifestación de fuegos primigenios y el manantial de lo simbólico, cierta unión donde los opuestos dejan de...

Off Grid: Nature Powered Homes

Interest in living off the grid, i.e. self-sufficiently without relying on public services such as the municipal water supply, electricity, or local sewage and gas systems, has come on the scene as a greener, cheaper, and more independent way of life. Homes that are off-grid generally allow for a smaller carbon footprint, and a sense of freedom and self-sufficiency.

Other times, an Off-Grid system can work as an energy backup or be...
