C/A/11. Landscape: changing perceptions and reality since 1950
- WORDS:
- 1800
- DATE:
- 2007
- PRICE:
- 19.99 GBP
The essay looks at changes which have occurred in the landscape and its architecture since 1950. It suggests that landscapes hold great psychological value for those who observe and experience them. This is reflected in the choice of examples - such as the work of Le Corbusier, and the examples of Britain's coast. These examples aim to epitomise the decade of culture from which they were born. Furthermore, they aim to show how a landscape can help to facilitate human understanding of their place in the world - whether through silent contemplation or active enjoyment. The use of the 1980's project in Bath where a Georgian garden was excavated and restored is used to illustrate the beginning of a trend, which has become increasingly popular today - seen in programmes such as TimeTeam. Although excavation and landscape history have always been an important part of the UK's academic framework, this paper suggests that since the eighties it has became more integral due to the rapid rate of urban development. Such development has encouraged people to value the presence of open and hidden spaces, perhaps encouraging land and space to be increasingly seen as a commodity.
KEYWORDS: Landscape, Architecture, building, nature,

This discussion is based on Antonio Gaudi's art forms and sculpture and a critical analysis is done on the characteristic features of Gaudi's art that distinguished his art forms from that of all other architects. Gaudi's art was unique and he represented modernism with unusual and unrealistic patterns and designs. His designs could be found in commercial buildings, residential buildings, public places, parks and the famous church Sagrada Familia. Gaudi's influence in Spain and throughout the world has been not just artistic and cultural but also political and social. Features of his art and his influence are discussed here.
