CASA VICENS
MANY THANKS!
CASA VICENS
The initial blueprints, which provided the roots to
Casa Vicens, was to provide a private home and garden. The private land was
inherited to Senor Manuel Vicens from his mother at the end of August 1877.
Senor M. Vicens nominated Antoni Gaudi to address renovations and extensions to
the facades and floors. Gaudi sculptured various cultural representations such
as, Hispanic, Arabic, Oriental, and Indian themes which ultimately made each
room independent. This unique, exotic, and newly renovated home was greeted
with an enthusiastic appeal to its residents of Barcelona.
Antoni Gaudi is one of a kind! It doesn't matter how many times I look at his projects I always find something new-much like a Salvador Painting!
Just consider the time difference between then and now. Today we have computerised blueprints, newer and reliable equipment, a fresher eye to nature. In that era everything was man-made-to the last inch of detail. It is another reason why antiques sell for a scroll of notes. Here are some of the finer touches that Gaudi brought to this beautiful Casa.
