geez, im just so loving the free internet service that can be found in certain corners of downtown barcelona...
was talking to my fellow roomies yesterday and it turned out they are all architects and sculptors! three japanese, one russian and one romanian.
It was a very informative talk that lasted till 2am, and i learned a great deal about some of the buildings and sculptures in town, mostly by Gaudi, Picasso and Fuster, it sorta broaden your mind when you listen to their interpretation of a certain monument and building.
Took a walk to Parc Guell (by Gaudi) this morning and went looking for that certain characteristic that my friends have mentioned, well off the beaten track from the tourist path, and sure enough, there it is, that little detail that spells Gaudi, his intention and his little secret...It´s like reading Da Vinci Code once again...
will go back to Sagrada Familia tonight to decipher some more hidden codes in the building that reflect certain history...the building is still under construction (rumoured to be completed by 2026), though not under Gaudi´s supervision anymore...needless to say that after his death and the lack of a blueprint for the building because he was working purely based on his imagination, no one can complete his masterpiece the way he had wanted it to be...it´s just so easy to distinguish the difference...will try to get a good picture later to post it here...
this is all very intriguing indeed...
