Park Guell was the most memorable piece of architecture there.

    Structure - the structure is very unique and inconsistent through the whole park. The structure for each monument is effected heavily by the materials used. The mosaic/ceramic structures are similar to each other and stone structures are similar to each other.

    Function - It was built originally as a private residential area for wealthy families. I don't think it is very functional as a residential area, which is why it is not used for that anymore. It is currently a tourist attraction for families to visit to appreciate art and gardens.

    Beauty - I think that the whole park is so beautiful because there are so many different designs in the mosaic and because the park is so big you could spend a long time examining each of the mosaics and how they work together. The buildings are different to the rest of the park, using brown brick (?) for the walls and then having the roofs detailed and use a specific colour palette.]]>     2022-07-12 01:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pavanikatugampola/eq7nmhmcshbgvgs9/wish/2241375772     Alice blanc123 https://padlet.com/pavanikatugampola/eq7nmhmcshbgvgs9/wish/2241376916 Structure -  The tall elevators with views at the top are made to look like big trees.
