Week 2: Spanish Buildings Research con't 16/10/07

After having such a disappointing week looking for Spanish buildings, I was almost about to give up looking and would settle for waiting for Barcelona to coem around. Until!...I met up with Harvey who said he was nearly at the same stage, but he suddenly found some awesome images of Spanish architecture which would be perfect for our research.

Here are just a few which I think will likely be a big influence on our environment:

This was one of the better photos I found that is actually in Barcalona. We really love this archway as a group- Hopefully we'll get to see it in person and take some more useable images of it. It looks complex but we're convinced it would be a nice feature in the film- esp if it was destroyed! :D

I really like this small street- I don't think its Barcalona but This is how i can imagine the shot that comes out of the old Lady's house into the street. Thsi sloping road going down into the alley- I really like the strong contrast of light and shade.

This is one of my favourite images so far! I've really struggled to find decent photos of 'Spain' or at least Spanished themed buildings that look old and half destoryed. I'm surprised people still live in these buildings! Sucks to be them, but hey! this is awesome research for us! :D I can definately see this as being the alley- If we closed the alley up a bit and made in smaller- this would be a really nice shot I think.

Most of these images I found with Harveys help so he'll probs have the same ones-we were trying to figure out how we can avoid using a plain for the sky-we foudnm this image and it answered it for us!... have extremely tall buildings! :Dyes, it may sound a bit ridiculous but as far as we know Barcalona has tall buildings, so what not make them taller! exaggerate! The colours here are excellent too! the texturing is going to be fun but so hard!

Heres just an image of a house I thought looked like it could fit in our environment. perhaps I'll use it, perhaps I won't, who knows at this stage. I jus treally like how they have built a new wall to the right of it but kept the old half really shabby- why?? why not improve the old bit incase it falls down with you in it?!? Its gota pretty cool lantern too which I may steal...
