Mosaic music
Underneath the Parque Guell’s main square, underneath the serpent bench, Gaudi built a very special kind of music room. Supported by 86 doric columns, the vaulted ceiling reverberates the sounds, and it is a good place for buskers and other musicians. The 2 photos above show some of the decorations on the ceiling.
2 more views of the columns themselves.
La salle de musique de la colonie Guell. Gaudi avait une excellente comprehension des regles de l’accoustique. Le plafond alveole et les 86 colonnes doriques forment une tres bonne caisse de resonance.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](https://i0.wp.com/img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png)

The mosaics are beautiful and fun, but I would love to experience the sound for myself. I imagine that the room makes even speaking voices sound great.
