I traveled to Barcelona and stayed for four days. During these four days I took different "hikes" through different areas of the city. As I did my daily hike, I would add to this drawing the experience and surrounding condition of these spaces. This drawing became a composite of these four days and my hikes through the city. Through line, color and stroke I attempt to emphasize how these different zones create a city that references the landscape of an architectural collage.

I studied the Casa Batlo because of Gaudi's great sense of sensitivity to the house as the human body an architectural expression. There is great emphasis on water and I believe this is because we know that the average human body is composed of 50-65% water. There are also spines scattered through out the house all of which lead up to massive light wells; In my opinion this represents the mind.
I will guide you through these spaces with my photographs and sketches.
