[New Moon · Itinerary Lecture] From Gaudi to Toyo Ito: Architectural Aesthetics Journey of Northern Spain

Visit the masterpieces of more than ten Pritzker Prize winners, from Frank Gehry's world-shaking Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and winery design, Arata Isozaki's Zen-filled "Isozaki Gate," Norman Foster's metro station design, to Toyo Ito and Jean Nouvel's brilliant works in Barcelona.

Deeply explore the soul works of the genius architect Antoni Gaudi, including the famous Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, Casa Batllo, as well as the lesser-seen Casa Vicens and the Colonia Guell Church. Also visit Salvador Dali's surrealist Theater-Museum, allowing you to travel between magic and reality.

This is a century-spanning architectural pilgrimage, from Gaudi's natural fantasy to Dali's surreal dreams, from Frank Gehry's deconstructive vanguard to Arata Isozaki's postmodern reflections, from Norman Foster's high-tech poetry to Toyo Ito's fluid philosophy, and then to Jean Nouvel's local narratives — how these architectural masters use brick and stone as brushes, heaven and earth as paper, to write the ultimate human expression of spatial aesthetics.

Welcome to follow architectural aesthetics teacher Hu Tsung-ching (胡琮淨) on a journey through the northern Iberian Peninsula, opening a cross-temporal dialogue of architecture and aesthetics, touching the soul of architecture in the changing light and shadow, reading the masters' philosophies, and feeling the infinite possibilities of architecture!
