Sunset at Casa Vicens: An Inspiring Encounter
A Debate on Luxury and Nature
We had the pleasure of recently hosting an inspiring event at Casa Vicens , where Mónica Cruz Guáqueta, renowned architect and Gaudí scholar, led a discussion on luxury and nature in modernist homes. Her vision of Casa Vicens sparked a lively dialogue about these themes in Gaudí's work.
Casa Vicens, one of Antoni Gaudí's early masterpieces, served as the perfect setting for this discussion. Mónica Cruz Guáqueta led us on a fascinating tour, unpacking how Gaudí integrated natural elements into his designs and how these influenced the perception of luxury in his time. The combination of natural materials and innovative techniques at Casa Vicens highlights Gaudí's ingenuity and his ability to merge the organic with the opulent.
A Sunset in the Garden
As the sun set, we moved to the garden, enjoying a refreshing cocktail in the midst of this urban oasis. The atmosphere shifted, allowing attendees to experience the house from a new perspective. The long shadows and soft lighting of the sunset highlighted the architectural beauty of the building and its surroundings, creating a magical and relaxing atmosphere.
During this time, we continued to exchange impressions and reflections on what had been discussed. Casa Vicens, with its vibrant tilework and innovative design, became a central topic of conversation, inspiring participants to consider how Gaudí's principles can be applied in a modern architectural context.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mónica Cruz Guáqueta for her captivating talk. Her knowledge and passion for Gaudí's work enriched the evening, providing a unique perspective on the integration of nature and luxury in modernist architecture. We also thank all the attendees for their enthusiastic participation. Your presence made the evening truly special, and we look forward to welcoming you to future events celebrating the wonders of architecture.
