886. Das Haus Behrens

Dear Harry, "It isn't from individual forms in nature that we can deduce a useful pattern or model, but from its structure, its construction, the mighty law of nature" (Peter Behrens) The father of the modern movement in architecture the self-taught architect and industrial designer Peter Behrens, built his own house, in 1901 at the Darmstadt Artists' Colony. It was his first architectural commission and it represented for Behrens a turning point from the Arts and Crafts Movement ideas to a more ascetic and fresh way of design. Regards. R

1863. Gran Canaria, San Agustín, Restaurante La Rotonda

Querida Luz, El balneario-restaurante La Rotonda en San Agustín, Maspalomas Costa Canaria con su elegante forma circular abierta al mar supuso una revolución en la arquitectura moderna turística de la isla. Desgraciadamente este edificio emblemático fue incomprendido y abandonado durante años y finalmente demolido en 1992. Besos, R
