Gaudí Œuvres complètes

Devant la reconnaissance générale et croissante de l’œuvre d’Antoni Gaudí, et 150 ans après sa naissance, je me demande le pourquoi de ce phénomène si peu habituel dans le domaine de l’architecture. Car le succès de Gaudí ne vient pas de la quantité des œuvres réalisées, étant donné qu’il ne dirigea qu’une vingtaine de projets importants, ni d’une grande dispersion géographique de ses créations, leur majorité étant concentrées autour de Barcelone. Cela n’est pas non plus dû au fait que l’auteur ait été enclin à promouvoir son œuvre et sa personne, puisque celui-ci vécut toujours loin de tout ce qui pouvait perturber son travail, ou que ses projets aient été accueillis avec succès par ses contemporains, qui y furent plutôt hostiles. Ainsi, il n’est pas facile de trouver des réponses raisonnables pour justifier sa notoriété actuelle, mais il n’est pas facile non plus de comprendre l’oubli dans lequel tomba Gaudí avant de mourir en 1926.

Cool Spots Mallorca / Ibiza

The islands have always made for a different kind of holiday option. They provide an oasis of relaxation, somewhere to escape from the stress of daily life, a world away from the frenetic rhythm of tireless tourists. Majorca and Ibiza have evolved considerably since the sixties and both destinations have become something more than simply magnificent beaches, unbeatable views and good food, although such things are of course considered as an essential part of any holiday. Though having evolved in a similar manner, Majorca and Ibiza offer different styles of holiday: the former is a tranquil haven and ideal for a family break whereas the latter is the Mecca of color ful night life and a renowned meeting point. Both have managed to adapt their original characteristics to modern day living. In addition, both islands offer a myriad of charming spots: bars that place special emphasis on the selection of music and the creation of unique atmospheres, beach clubs (including lounge areas with deck chairs by the sea, restaurants and resident DJs) shops, nightclubs (such as the world famous Pachá and Space (which have practically become symbols of Ibiza), beach coves, sunset cafés (somewhere to enjoy the sun’s descent into the sea), or the so called lifestyle stores (a new concept of place, combining art galler y, interior design studio and shop). These are just some of the many offerings available on these two islands. This is a collection of cool spots, some already classics and others newer to the scene. Confirming Majorca’s and Ibiza’s status as more than simply idyllic holiday destinations, but a way of life, which not surprisingly in today’s world, is a fusion of ideas and influences
