To Architecture lovers, and especially those who appreciate Modernism, Art Nouveau and Art Déco, Barcelona is, as everybody knows, a paradise. Each street and corner have the potential to enchant with a little architectural detail.
The Barri Gòtic is another - totally different - unforgettable Barcelona feature, as well as the Cathedral itself and the magnificent Santa Maria del Mar Basilica.
We surrounded the enormous buildings with our heads up in the air, many times, and always discovered something new.
And the language all around us. Catalan is a hybrid form of poetry in itself.

O Bairro Gótico (Barri Gòtic) é outra - completamente diferente - faceta de Barcelona, tal como a Catedral e a magnífica Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar.
Rodeamos os vastos monumentos sempre de olhos no ar, por diversas vezes, e descobrimos sempre algo de novo.
E a língua ao nosso redor. o Catalão é uma forma híbrida de poesia.
To Architecture lovers, and especially those who appreciate Modernism, Art Nouveau and Art Déco, Barcelona is, as everybody knows, a paradise. Each street and corner has the potential to enchant with a unique detail.
Then there's Gaudi’s world (Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, La Sagrada Família, Parc and Finca Guell). More than just enjoying the beauty of these works of Art, the most interesting aspect to us was trying to understand them and learn about the author's intentions.
Of course, he wanted to convey nature and natural forms in architectural form, but that's just the more apparent aspect. He was a creative soul and a perfectionist, very detail-oriented, always hiding some secret meaning behind each trace. Finding them became, to us, a special kind of treasure hunt.
La Sagrada Familia (in these photos) is one of the most outstanding examples of this “hunt for meaning”. Even standing on a never-ending construction site, the already finished areas and the details we were able to glimpse are magnificent.

E temos todo o universo de Gaudi (Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, La Sagrada Família, Parc e Finca Guell). Mais do que simplesmente apreciar a beleza destas obras de Arte, para nós o mais interessante foi percebê-las, aprender algo acerca das intenções do seu criador.
É nítido que ele pretendia apresentar a Natureza e as formas naturais em forma arquitectónica, mas esse é apenas o aspecto mais evidente do seu génio. Gaudi era uma alma criativa e também um extremo perfeccionista, obcecado com detalhes, sempre a esconder algum significado obscuro ou associação não aparente no mais ínfimo pormenor. Encontrar esses traços tornou-se, para nós, uma peculiar caça ao tesouro.
A Sagrada Família (nestas fotos) é um dos grandes exemplos dessa “caça ao significado”. Apesar de se erguer num eterno estaleiro, as áreas terminadas e os detalhes que conseguimos vislumbrar são magníficos.

House on the cliff - a design for modern architecture lovers.
Trabzon's main attraction for art and architecture lovers is the Church of Ayasofya, which was built under Emperor Manuel I Comnenus between 1238 and 1263. Since then it has been restored on several occasions. It was a museum until 2013, when it reverted - controversially - to being a mosque. This photograph is of the south portal, which is decorated with a frieze depicting Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Parc Guell, in these photos, is a perfect example of a place where, amidst nature and its forms, new architecture is born that evokes them. The details are many and meticulous, and an unreal environment takes over our senses.

O Parc Guell, nas fotos, é um exemplo perfeito de local em que, no meio da natureza e suas formas, nasce arquitectura que as evoca. Os detalhes são muitos e minuciosos, e um ambiente irreal toma conta dos nossos sentidos.

Since then it has been restored on several occasions. It was a museum until 2013, when it reverted - controversially - to being a mosque. This photograph is of the stunning ceiling of the narthex, which is divided into three parts by two stone ribs. The frescoes depict scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. In the centre are symbols of the four evangelists (known as tetramorphs), surrounded by colourful seraphim.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Cie Alsacienne des Arts Photomécaniques of Strasbourg. The card has a divided back.
Le Touquet
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, commonly referred to as Le Touquet, is a commune near Etaples, in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. It has a population of 5,355 but welcomes up to 250,000 people during the summer.
Le Touquet has a reputation as the most elegant holiday resort of northern France, the playground of rich Parisians (hence its full name), with many luxury hotels.
Since the mid-1990's, Le Touquet’s villas have become extremely fashionable amongst architecture lovers throughout Europe who have rediscovered the “folie” of seaside architecture of both the Roaring Twenties and the 1930's.
Town Trails
Today the town tourist office offers organised trails to see outstanding examples of 19th and 20th century domestic architecture, which are now preserved and protected.
Le Touquet's Early Years
In the 19th. century it was an area of wild sand dunes and forest - part of a hunting estate.
In 1902 Allen Stoneham and John Whitley bought the land through their company Le Touquet Syndicate Ltd., and were instrumental in developing the town into a golf and gambling resort.
It became known as “Paris by the Sea”, and strict building regulations encouraged the most talented architects to create imaginative and innovative developments. The most famous local architect is Louis Quetelart.
The Great War
During most of World War I, Le Touquet was the home of the Duchess of Westminster's (No 1 British Red Cross Society) Hospital for wounded British troops.
The No. 2 Canadian Stationary Hospital had the distinction of being the first Canadian Unit to land on French soil. No. 2 Stationary opened at the Hotel du Golf at Le Touquet on November 27, 1914.
All the 142 British Commonwealth war graves in Le Touquet's Communal Cemetery are from the hospitals. In the same cemetery a wooden obelisk was erected by the commune's lifeboatmen in honour of the British.
H. G. Wells
In 1909, H. G. Wells and Amber Reeves fled to Le Touquet in an abortive elopement. The two returned to Britain after a number of weeks, though Amber later gave birth to Wells's daughter, Anna-Jane Blanco White, after the relationship ended.
Noël Coward
In the 1920's, Noël Coward and the “smart set” from England spent weekends here, and commissioned more outstanding villa designs echoing traditional and ultra-modern domestic styles.
P. G. Wodehouse
P. G. Wodehouse lived in Le Touquet from 1934 to 1939.
