Barcelona Modernism: Broken Tiles and Undulating Rooflines

A Catalan Modernisme building in the grid-patterned Eixample district of Barcelona, located on a chamfered street corner. The facade is made of undulating, wave-like stone, the balcony railings are twisted wrought iron, the roofline rises and falls like ocean waves, and the chimneys are sculpted and covered with colorful broken ceramic tiles; the intense Mediterranean sunlight makes the broken tiles sparkle. The entire building is bright, saturated, and full of local character. Avoid: copying the complete form of a specific famous building, using a dark Nordic sky and red bricks, a flat and un-undulating facade, or neat square tiles.

巴塞隆納擴展區格狀街道上的一棟加泰隆尼亞現代主義建築,位於切角的街廓轉角。立面是起伏如波浪的石材,陽台欄杆是扭曲的鍛鐵,屋頂線像海浪一樣上下起伏,煙囪被做成覆滿彩色碎瓷片的雕塑;地中海強烈的陽光讓碎瓷片閃閃發亮。整棟建築明亮、飽和而充滿地方色彩。避免:照抄某一棟著名建築的完整造型、使用北歐的灰暗天空與紅磚、立面平直而沒有起伏、瓷磚是整齊的方形面磚。
