Back to The Drawing Board - S3 E5 - Globetrotting Architecture 1: Barcelona and Reykjavik

  • Résumé

  • As your seasoned travel companions, Theo and I whisk you away on an architect's dream journey, first landing in Barcelona where the spirals of Sagrada Familia beckon. We spin tales from our visit, painting a vivid image of Gaudí's masterpiece and how it skyrockets the joy of discovery to new heights. Our conversation steers towards the grid-lined streets of Barcelona, exploring how each corner converges on this unmistakable landmark, while sharing tips on dedicating full days to drink in the marvels of significant structures, like the modernist influence of Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion.

    Then, let's swap the Mediterranean backdrop for the cool climes of Reykjavik, where Harpa concert hall's glass façade reflects the Icelandic sky. I'll recount the quirky details that make this city's architecture a feast for the senses, from fisherman's houses turned art havens to the old harbour's metamorphosis into a hotspot for culture vultures. Theo and I promise to leave no stone unturned, from the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights to the charm of the Sun Voyager sculpture, ensuring you're armed with anecdotes and insights for your own Icelandic escapade.

    To round off our episode, we muse over the nostalgic lanes of past travels while charting the map for future expeditions. We debate the merits of spontaneous jaunts against the precision of well-planned tours, drawing from our escapades in the story-rich streets of Rome and the meticulous designs of Scandinavia. As we share these reflections, we invite you to influence our next adventures, promising that even the most unpredictable of travel experiences can lead to memories etched in the stone of time. Tune in, and let's journey together through the architectural wonders that have captured our hearts and fueled our imaginations.
