More Gaudí architecture in Barcelona, Casa Milà and Casa Battló (Photo gallery)

Diese zwei Gaudi-Gebäude, die Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts errichtet worden sind, sind nicht nur beliebte Sehenswürdigkeiten, sondern auch UNESCO Weltkulturerbe.

Die Gebäude erinnern mich an die Hundertwasser-Architektur in Wien, der ebenfalls deklarierte Gegner von geraden Linien war, aber erst nach Gaudi wirkte.

Das Problem ist allerdings, dass gerade Linien super praktisch sind und nicht nur Vieles vereinfachen, sondern auch der Raum in den Gebäuden kann mit geraden, rechteckigen Zimmern besser ausgenutzt werden. Stellt euch vor, ihr habt eine gewölbte Wand und wollt ein Regal oder ein Bett gegen die Wand aufstellen, das würde nicht so gut funktionieren, solange die Möbel nicht auch genauso gewölbt wären wie die Wände. Standardisierungs-Albtraum. Man müsste komplett umdenken.

Deswegen hat sich dieser Stil vermutlich nicht durchgesetzt.

Was sagt ihr dazu? Wie gefällt euch Gaudis Stil?

These two Gaudi buildings, constructed at the beginning of the 20th century, are not only popular tourist attractions but also UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The buildings remind me of Hundertwasser's architecture in Vienna, who was also a declared opponent of straight lines, but lived and worked after Gaudi.

The problem, however, is that straight lines are extremely practical and not only simplify many things, but also allow the space in buildings to be better utilized with straight, rectangular rooms. Imagine you have a curved wall and want to put a shelf or a bed to the wall, that wouldn't work very well unless the furniture was also curved like the walls. It would be a standardization nightmare. You would have to completely rethink everything.

That's probably why this style didn't catch on.

What do you think? How do you like Gaudi's style?

I like it a lot because of its unconventionality, like thinking outside of the box but definitely living in such a place would be impractical if not very hard to adjust to.

Very interesting read! Gaudí’s work is so unique and beautiful, it really makes you wonder why such creative designs aren’t used more in everyday homes. Maybe the practical side and costs make it difficult, but the charm and artistic value are unmatched.

I am sure the individual rooms in such places are not cramped small, but more like what you find in baroque palaces. If you look at how those are furnished, indeed, also those by the wealthy in modern constructions, then you see that furniture are not pushed against a wall, but harmoneously free standing in the room, because the walls themselves, be they curved or are with tapestry or frescoes covered, are a work of art that should not be covered up. Certain 'necessities' were discreetly built in, such as closets. Beds were incorporated in the architecture and were not necessarily square. In this case, we must discard the 'Gemeindebau' mentality of functional boxes.
Gaudi, and his contemporaries of the Art Nouveau movement, and those who built and emulated it like later on Fritz Hundertwasser, Arik Brauer and the Vienna School, were decidedly against the austerity of the Bauhaus architecture, which they find depressing and against the physical and emotional well-being of human beings.

Particularly French Art Nouveau had taken some aspects of Gaudi's architecture, even in Vienna we find houses that at least have taken some decorative aspects, such as entrance doors and balconies in such a style. However, Barcelona is unique.

Das Manifest gegen das Winkelmaß wurde auch von Arik Brauer 'unterschrieben'.
Schau dir das an - da ist auch ein Musikvideo dabei:

Das Hundertwasserhaus ist besser bekannt, aber hier ist das Arik Brauer Haus:

Interessant, das kannte ich noch gar nicht bzw nicht mehr am Radar, bin glaube mal vorbeigegangen, wenn es in der Gumpendorferstr ist, sieht praktibaler aus, aber mir gefällt der Stil eher nicht so gut, zu viele runde, wellige Elemente, denke dieser Ablehnung von geraden Linien ist übertrieben.
