So, I have just got back from the most amazing and inspirational week in Barcelona! What an incredible city. Such a mind-blowing combination of gothic, twisted fairy-tale and the very, very contemporary...full of beautiful colour and awesome architecture. We visited as much Gaudi as we possibly could and I have come away with my mind bursting with crazy colours and shapes! What I found particularly fascinating was the inspiration Gaudi got from nature - the way plants and animals are structured, and the way he used straight lines to make curve after curve in his buildings. Amazing! I'm hoping I can use my trip as design (structure and colour!) inspiration but right now, my mind is just too over-awed to do much other than gawp at Gaudi's brilliance!
*I have used photos from what I think are open sources; if I have used one of yours inadvertently and you would like me to remove it, please contact me, and know that it was only because I loved your photo so much! There wasn't quite enough sunshine for my own photos to be web-worthy!*
