El creador de maquetas y modelos para cine Simon Weisse sale de su taller en Berlín para compartir su oficio en BAU el miércoles 30 de abril. Simon Weisse: About Prop Making es la BAU Talks que trae el Máster en Diseño de Espacios Escénicos y Dirección Artística esta primavera, suponiendo una ocasión única para conocer a una de las figuras clave del cine de culto más importante de los últimos años. Weisse es recurrente en las grandes superproducciones de Hollywood que acuden a sus diseños en miniatura para crear espacios atemporales y cargados de significado para la narración que acompañan. El artista desgranará el arte del atrezo, poniendo en valor el nivel de trabajo que hay detrás, además de explicar a los asistentes cuál es su proceso creativo: desde que recibe el guión con la propuesta hasta que llega la hora de rodar. Esta es la oportunidad no solo para aquellos que quieren dedicarse a la producción de escenografía cinematográfica, sino también para los grandes apasionados por el cine y los curiosos que anhelan descubrir los detalles que definen aquellas películas que ya conocen. Sobre el ponente Licenciado por la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Montpellier, Simon Weisse es supervisor de unidad de efectos visuales de miniaturas y diseñador de atrezo reconocido por su trabajo en películas de las hermanas Wachowski (V de Vendetta, El atlas de las nubes, Matrix Resurrections), así como en las de Wes Anderson (Isla de Perros, La crónica francesa, Asteroid City) o el último filme de Luca Guadagnino, Queer.

I went with a friend, we loved the experience. Would recommend going there when you visiting Barcelona.

Tickets were issued via Ctrip in about ten minutes, and the price was the same as on the official website, which was quite convenient. Last year, on my first trip to Barcelona, ​​I prioritized visiting the places I most wanted to see within the limited time, so I skipped Park G&uuml;ell. This year, my cruise ship stopped in Barcelona for a day, so I decided to visit it. Tickets were still available at the entrance, and the ticket check didn&#39;t consider specific times or cruise schedules. For example, when we arrived at noon, the system showed only 3 PM tickets were available, but we were actually allowed in immediately.

Since it was the weekend, there were a lot of tourists, both local and out-of-town, making it very noisy. The ground was also mostly bare earth, and the wind whipped up dust, making for a poor experience. I think skipping it last time was the right decision. If you really want to come, just enter through the main entrance and visit the highlights; you can finish in about half an hour.

This should be a must-see for every tourist visiting Barcelona. It&#39;s about 500 meters from Casa Mil&agrave;, and the package ticket I bought on Ctrip was a great deal. In short, it&#39;s a must-see. A masterpiece of art, a genius of aesthetics...

La Pedrera – Casa Milà

北京蓝冰

Casa Mil&agrave;, located at the corner of Passeig de Gr&agrave;cia and Passeig de Provenca in Barcelona, ​​Spain, was designed and built by Spanish architect Antoni Gaud&iacute; between 1906 and 1912.

As Gaud&iacute;&#39;s last private residential project, Casa Mil&agrave; encapsulates the architectural language of his mature period and is a pinnacle of the Art Nouveau style&#39;s curvilinear aesthetic. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and open to the public as a museum, it has become a pilgrimage site for architecture enthusiasts and tourists worldwide.

Gaud&iacute; is a paragon of the organic integration of liberalism and modernism. He believed that &quot;straight lines belong to man, curves belong to God,&quot; and the design of Casa Mil&agrave; is entirely inspired by nature, imitating the forms of rocks, waves, and plants. The building&#39;s exterior, known as &quot;La Pedrera&quot; (meaning &quot;quarry&quot;), features an undulating, wave-like facade resembling a natural mountain, devoid of straight lines or right angles, presenting a sense of natural flow. Inside, the curves of the columns and staircases resemble tree trunks and caves, while the ceiling textures mimic leaf veins and ocean waves, conveying a tribute to the vitality of nature from the outside in.

The roof of Casa Mil&agrave; is the most iconic part of Gaud&iacute;&#39;s entire architectural work: 30 oddly shaped chimneys and vents exist like sculptures, some resembling warriors, others like monsters (I personally feel they look like some masks from Sanxingdui), perfectly combining functionality (smoke extraction, ventilation) with artistry. The undulating roof enhances the sculptural feel of the building, and standing on it offers a panoramic view of Barcelona.

The entrance is small, in the city center. Be sure to get the audio guide first. Each painting has a story. I spent three hours looking at it carefully! You can walk to Casa Mil&agrave; and see the scenery of Barcelona along the way! It&#39;s a great time!
