The document provides details about Antonio Gaudi's Church of Sagrada Familia located in Barcelona, Spain. Some key points: - Construction began in 1882 and was still ongoing in 1926, with Gaudi drawing inspiration from nature, local methods, and Catalan Gothic style while also incorporating elements of Cubism. - The five-naved basilica features inclined, tree-like columns and is structured around three large portals depicting biblical scenes. - Gaudi devised an innovative construction system that removed the need for external buttresses by routing weight directly into the pillars.

Plan of Sagrada Familia
Interior
• Partly inspired by the Catalan gothic, showing traces of Cubism, and
commonly associated with Art Nouveau, the Sagrada Familia fits into no
single stylistic category. Like many before him, Gaudi drew upon nature
and exploited local methods of workmanship.
•The church of the Sagrada Familia is a five-naved basilica.The central nave rises above the others significantly.
•To each nave a door is assigned to the unfinished glory facade.
•There are also two side portals that lead to the penance chapel and baptistery.
• Behind the nave, in the apse, is the altar, in the light of the many windows of the apse.
•The columns are inclined and branched-like trees. The weight will be routed directly over the pillars in the
ground - all this without bearing facade or exterior buttresses.
Vertical and partly inclined pillars are
decorated with grooves.
Gothic-style apse is surrounded by
seven chapels and two side stairs
Spiral staircases from the
crypt continue to facades

Design
Construction System
Firstly, a vertical integration of efforts and reduction of horizontal thrusts, so that
external structural buttresses can be removed.; secondly, a double stone dome, for
extending the building life. And finally, he devised inclined and branched columns
that imitate the bough-trunk structure of a tree.

Hill House (1902 to 1903 )
Architect : Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Location : Helensburgh, Scotland
Construction System : Bearing masonry
Climate : Temperate
Context : Rural or suburban
Style : Art Nouveau
Notes : Asymmetrical romantic massing.
Design
•The narrow building stretches west to east with an entrance off the road
to the west, so that all major rooms face south to the view of the estuary.
•At the eastern end of these major rooms a wing extends north, with
rooms for the kitchen and services and the children.
•Out of these simple wings volumes extend, a curving stair volume to the
north, a sunny drawing room bay to the south, a curved bay for the
bedroom, compositional extrusions in the simple major volumes which
focus views and bring in light.
•Hill House, the largest and finest of Mackintosh's domestic buildings,
occupies a hillside side that looks out over the Clyde estuary, and is
surrounded by grounds meticulously landscaped by Mackintosh, who
went to the extent of instructing that the trees be clipped according to his
manner of drawing them.
• Built from local sandstone and rough-cast rendered, the house bears
the image of Scottish baronial traditions.
Ground Floor Plan First Floor Plan
Interior
• Mackintosh used different materials, colours, and lighting, when necessary to perform a
full experiential transition from one point to another .
• All in such an elegant and well planned manner, that with the absence of one the other
would mar.
• Delicately stenciled interior decoration using designs of roses, thistles & other plants
creates the feel of an indoor garden enhanced by clever use of abundant natural light
provided by the open site, overlooking the Firth of Clyde.
• The stylish fittings & furniture, include Mackintosh’s famous ladder black chairs.
• Beautiful decorative coloured glass & tiles are used throughtout.
Exterior
• The uniform and grayish exterior treatment of the building blends with in with the cold
cloud sky of Scotland.
• The completely asymmetrical construction forms different roof level and shapes, and also
records Mackintosh’s appreciation for A.W.N. pugin’s picturesque utility where the exterior
contour evolves from the interior planning.
• The minimum decoration, heavy walls, and rectangular and square windows express a
strong, sober construction.
• The exterior qualities of the building are nearly the opposite of the warm, exotic, carefully
decorated and smooth interior.
• Again, Mackintosh relates to Pugin’s theory by minimizing exterior decoration to emphasize
the interior design: the transition from outside world into a safe, fantastic inside space.
• Paint analysis of the harling on the exterior shows that it might have been left as an
unpainted pale grey initially
•The house is load bearing stone masonry. The local codes discouraged brick masonry, as it
would have lowered the standard of construction in the wealthy community. Over the stone
is applied a mixture of cement and crushed pebbles. This gives added protection against
infiltration of the elements

Material
• Largely snecked rubble, with brick used
for the gable and the upper parts of the
chimneys.
• The use of stone is said to have been a
condition of the feu. The quarry has not
so far been identified. It is a porous red
sandstone.
•It has not always been laid correctly,
which has caused it to be weakened by
water ingress.
• Mackintosh chose Ballachulish slates for
the roof.
