The Oven Restaurant in Barcelona has hosted the exhibition “Hotel Attraction”, based on the project Gaudí conceived for New York City some 90 years ago and which the graphic designer Marc Mascort has recreated in 3D images virtually.

Gaudí designed this large hotel between 1908 and 1911, commissioned by some North American business people. Boasting fully Gaudinian forms, with a profusion of parabolic arches and conoidal cupolas, the project came to light thanks to Llorenç Matamala, Gaudí’s friend and collaborator.

    I think that building would look amazing in the nyc skyline and they should build that to replace the twin towers. Gaudi is a genius

    I believe that Gaudi’s work should remain where it originated. It would not hold the same fascination and pefection as it does in Barcelona with Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, Casa Batllo, etc., in New York.
