Week 1: Early Thoughts About Barcelona



With the trip to Barca approaching fast I decided to look at areas of Barcelona architecture in advance to get some more solid ideas about the designs of the buildings we might be working with. I have considered some things in general about the environment to do with temperature, colours, types of materials and textures. I have also started to think about the type of terrain we might like our environment on.



Here I started to think about how areas might look normally in Barcelona and started to get together imagery of current ruined areas in Barca and other European cities. Also I mentioned I liked the idea of using a courtyard in the narrative as a key point of interest so I looked at collaborating so of the features of this type of area. Again above are some of my rough notes. I particularly like the way we can have a lot of sandstone buildings which are wearing away and crumbling slightly. I think this will work well especially if we plan on having our environment really hot.
