Gaudí｜Park Güell Entrance: Two Fairytale Gatehouses

The park entrance has no gates, but instead, two strangely shaped gatehouses frame the passage: the volumes resemble melting sugar or underwater creatures, with undulating curved roofs covered in fragmented, colorful mosaic tiles that flow with the curves. One of the buildings is topped with a winding spire. The walls are made of rough stone and plaster, with irregular window openings. Between the two buildings is an opening leading to an upward staircase, with the famous mosaic lizard in the center of the stairs. The overall impression is like entering an unreal world, with the entrance itself serving as a declaration. Shot in daylight, with the fragmented light of the tiles and the shadows of the curved surfaces coexisting. Avoid: regular volumes, flat or standard pitched roofs, neatly arranged mosaic tiles, installing gates.

公園的入口不設門扇,而是由兩棟形狀奇異的門房夾出通道:量體像融化中的糖或海底的生物,屋頂為起伏的曲面,表面貼滿破碎的彩色磁磚拼貼,顏色隨曲面流動。其中一棟的頂端立著一支纏繞的尖塔。牆體為粗石與抹灰,窗洞不規則。兩棟之間為一道通往上方階梯的開口,階梯中央有著名的馬賽克蜥蜴。整體像進入一個非現實的世界,入口本身就是宣告。日間陽光下拍攝,磁磚的碎光與曲面的陰影並存。避免:量體規整、屋頂為平面或標準斜屋頂、磁磚拼貼整齊、設置門扇。
