Sharing thoughts on being a maker and sometime breaker of tech along with other interests such as electronics, photography, films and running.
Opinions are my own...unless pilfered from someone smarter, better looking or can do more push-ups.
A Home Amongst the Webs
Aug 20, 2015
Pedrera is a home on the web for thoughts and warblings about things I enjoy to think and warble about. This mostly entails technology, software and toying around with tech, design, music and photography.
La Pedrera…
La Pedrera is one of Antoni Gaudi’s final works of architecture in Barcelona. It’s a striking building that blends lots of organic shapes and novel concepts into an apartment building. Finished in 1910 it boasts some innovations that we take as standard these days such as underground parking.
The sculptured chimney-tops (or ‘witch scarers’ espanta bruixes) impressed me as an image and a few years later was used as the emblem of my buddies and I film-making exploits.
The building is a great example of innovation, and of engineering technology and art coming together, hence it’s continuing appeal in my own tinkerings.
