Nakharar Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Wow! Sorry, for the late reply. I was away in Turkey. I must admit I'm getting more and more infatuated with you. Portugal is one of my favourite countries. Luckily the place isn't swarmed by tourist hordes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azat Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Azat, I have a curious question, if that is your summer home and it is summer now then how come you are not there (and invinting us for a party)? style_images/master/snapback.png Sasun jan, why do you think I am not there? ( I have a feeling that Nairi is next going to point out this thread in her thread about liars and braggers. Not sure why but just know it. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakharar Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Looks like one of Gaudi's buildings in Barcelona from what I can see from the mosaics. It could be Hundertwasser as well. Don't know about the spires though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted November 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I wonder if something like this can be built by a single person. It is by an Italian not the great Gaudi Where is Sev-Mart when you need him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakharar Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Is that the Wind Palace in Jaipur, Rajasthan by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armen Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Yup, Nakharar, you got it right. It's in Jaipur's Pink city I was looking at that building for some two hours. It is amazing. Actually, the mud and dirt (mostly cow, bull and sometimes elephant sh*t) that is all around that place is adding some wierd contrast to the whole scenery. You need to watch your every step not to get into a nice big pile of sh*t. Actually, elephant sh*t is easy to avoid cuase it is at least some 60-70cm above the ground. Good info, eh?

Azat Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 there is a great music festival once a year at the park adjacent to the towers. But other than that it is a bit of a dangerous place to visit. VERY VERY cool though. http://www.wattstowers.net/ About the Towers The Watts Towers, consisting of nine major sculptures, are the work of one man, Simon Rodia. The intricate towers and surrounding wall were built on a small triangular site at 1765 107th Street East in Watts, on one-tenth of an acre (400 square meters) edging the Pacific Electric Railway Red Car tracks where Rodia settled sometime between 1921 and 1925. Although the dates of 1921 and 1923 are both inscribed into the Towers' decoration, the exact date of Rodia's initiation of his monumental endeavor is unknown. What is clear is that starting in his early forties, he worked on them for the next thirty-plus years, every day, creating a masterpiece that has become the poster image for the environmental art genre. The tallest of the towers stands 99.5 feet high and contains the longest slender reinforced concrete column in the world. The main vertical legs of the sculptures are slender columns containing internal steel reinforcements, tied with wire and wrapped with wire mesh. Embedded in the mortar of the towers are the remnants of all sorts of popular household items of the times - from ceramic tiles to mirrors to the brilliant blue and green broken glass of old 7-Up and Milk of Magnesia bottles. While the Towers fall into no strict art category, international authorities and the general public here at home have lauded them as a unique monument to the human spirit and the perseverance of a singular vision. The Towers of Simon Rodia are a National Historic Landmark and are listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
