Dear Angela,

The front building named "House of All" and
the general master plan for the Nordic Embassies 
complex in Berlin were designed by Berger and 
Parkkinen. However, each individual 
building was designed by architectural teams 
selected by national architecture competitions
in their countries: 3XN architects were
responsible for Denmark, PK Hönun for Iceland,
Snøhetta for Norway, Wingårdh Arkitektkontor
for Sweden, and Viiva Arkkitehtuuri Oy for
Finland.

Sincerely,
R

2154. Barcelona. Casa Batlló


 











Querida Cristina,

Aquí te mando una postal de la increible
Casa Batlló de Gaudí y Jujol. Lo que
más me interesó de la postal cuando
la vi fue que muestra ambos frentes de 
la casa, el delantero y el posterior.
Ambos con sus distintos ritmos y 
acabados pero igualmente sublimes en
detalles.

Besos,
R
