Interior of La Pedreras loftspace, showing how the brick parabolic arches form the undulating roof terrace. The ribbed structure seems surprisingly slender when you consider they're not the result of complicated calcuations etc. From what I've read Gaudi just did this kind of thing by eye.
This image captures the sinuous forms of a modern architectural edifice. The flowing, undulating lines of the facade emphasize a sense of movement, as if the building itself is alive and breathing. Each floor seamlessly transitions to the next, unified by reflective glass that mirrors the world outside. Punctuating the organic rhythm are sporadic windows left ajar and objects within, reminding the viewer of the human activity contained within this sculptural masterpiece.
