Use of Basic Geometries to Derive Organic Shapes in Facades of ANTONI GAUDI: A Case of CASA MILA’S FAÇADE

Abstract

This exploration analyses Antoni Gaudi's imaginative utilization of essential calculations to make natural shapes in the veneers of Casa Mila, his notable building show-stopper. Gaudi, a well-known Catalan architect, revolutionized architectural design by combining natural forms with intricate detailing in a novel way. Casa Mila, also known as La Pedrera, is still a reminder of Gaudi's unparalleled mathematical skill and inventiveness. In this review, we look at Gaudi's way to deal with façade plan and how he utilized fundamental calculations to make mind boggling and enthralling natural shapes. We intend to see the value in Gaudi's numerical changes and controls to achieve his visionary structure style by separating the numerical parts that are accessible in the facade of Casa Mila, similar to curves, twisting, and figurative designs. We delve into the geometric concepts that influenced Gaudi's design choices by thoroughly examining primary and secondary sources, such as architectural drawings, photographs, and scholarly writings. It is possible to gain a deeper comprehension of the interaction between organic forms and geometry in the Casa Mila facades by employing the research methodology, which combines qualitative analysis with visual documentation. In addition, the significance of Gaudi's approach within a broader design history context is the subject of this investigation. We highlight the singular contributions that Gaudi made to the field of architecture and the development of organic architectural forms by examining the influences on his work, such as the study of natural structures and his own personal observations. The discoveries of this study add to a more profound enthusiasm for Gaudi's design virtuoso and shed light on the rules that can be utilized to get natural shapes from basic calculations. Understanding Gaudi's plan interaction may inspire contemporary architects and designers to expand the scope of their own work, push the boundaries of compositional expression, and embrace the pleasant union of mathematics and nature
