Iconic Houses

Are you passionate about modern architecture, do you visit iconic houses on your travels, do you revere Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and many other famous architects? Ok monaparter, this is of interest to you.

So far, in order to inform yourself and locate masterpieces of the modern architecture you had to resort to city guides or specialised bibliography, all on paper. But Natascha Drabbe was committed to promoting a project that would facilitate the search for all the iconic buildings and houses of the 20th centurysome well-known and others not so well known, in a single space accessible everywhere: a virtual map. Thus was born Iconic Houses.

On this map you will not only find the buildings located, but it also offers information about each one of them: descriptions about the authors and dates of construction, photographs, tips for visiting them, curiosities... A lot of useful information on your screen, wherever you are. It's really cool.

But don't leave yet, there's more! Iconic Houses also highlights which iconic buildings are in a state of disrepair or neglect and promotes initiatives to bring them out of this situation.

In our "home" Barcelona, there are seven architectural landmarks, most of which are Gaudi (the Palau Güell, Casa Batlló, la Pedrera, the Gaudí House Museum y Gaudí's Capricho) although it does not forget authors such as Rafael Masó (the Masó House) y Josep Lluís Sert (Bloc House).

We want the list to grow - can you help us? You can feed the map by clicking here.
