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

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
