The grotto-like quality of Parc Guell
(Barcelona) by Gaudi is expressed
here in a carefree drawing style. The
roughly hewn stone columns and
bizarre vaulting makes the space
immediately memorable. Notice how
the columns articulate the curved
passageway.

This domestic scene in Kalamazoo,
Michigan, is typical of suburban life.
The columns and screen wall divide
the dining room from the living room
without introducing unnecessary
enclosure.

The interior of this hotel room in Barcelona opens on to the view of the street.
Window shutters and the balcony provide a transition space between the interior
and exterior worlds.

The linking of rooms is a common feature of interior design. In this apartment in
Grenoble the dining room and salon are joined by double doors. The perimeter
windows and the interior doors are almost on the same axis.
