It’s my first day doing this so I wanted to share my favorite building ever with ya’ll!
This is Casa Batllo, built by Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona back in 1904. It’s got mosaics all along the facade, a super organic interior, gorgeous windows, it’s got it all!
My favorite part about this building is that there are very few straight lines inside, with all corners or edges being rounded off or plastered to look softer.

Happy Wednesday! In honor of recently watching The Brutalist (highly recommend) I wanted to share my favorite brutalist building with ya’ll!
This is the Church of the Light built by Tadao Ando just outside Osaka in 1999. The material choice and size of the space creates this insanely ethereal feeling as the light spills in from the window..
My favorite part of this building is how simple yet impactful it is, and I recently did a project in school experimenting with light like Ando did!

I’m a sucker for anything art deco, especially exploring Rockefeller Center with it’s easter eggs and grand as hell murals, but the Chanin building at 122 E 42nd st is beautiful for its detail. Especially the bronze friezes of fish and coral. I like creatures in the concrete and steel.
