my mission today was to walk diagonally from the very south eastern point of the city to its very north western point. since i got a bit of a taste of expanded horizons yesterday, i decided to continue on the same theme, stopping here and there to contemplate a few architects other my beloved gaudi.
saint pau hospital was a project of the architect lluis domenech i montaner that was completed in the year 1901 and consists of a whopping 27 pavillions. what a legacy, simply gorgeous. also stopped to pay my respects to salvador valeri i pupurull´s comalat house completed in 1911 and whose facade is all modernism and art nouveau. right across the street from puig i cadafalch´s palau de baró de quadras and not far from his delightful nordic-looking casa punxes completed in 1905.
but fear not, i came full circle to worship at the altar of the high priest gaudi upon reaching my destination. there, the güell pavillions stretched out before me in all their modernist gaudi-ness. breathtaking!
