  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

Gaudí was turning toward nature for inspiration on structure and design. He studied the growth and patterns of flowers, seeds, grass reeds, but most of all the human skeleton, their form both functional and aesthetic. He said, these natural forms made up of “paraboloids, hyperboloids and helicoids, constantly varying the incidence of the light, are rich in matrices themselves, which make ornamentation and even modeling unnecessary.” 1x (Calvet stair) Traditional Catalan method of brickwork vaulting (Bóvedas Tabicadas), artform in stairways, often supported by only one wall, the other side open to the center. Complexity of such stairs required specialist stairway builders (escaleristas), who obtained the curve for the staircase vaults by hanging a chain from two ends and then inverting this form as a guide for laying the bricks to the arch profile. 1x (Vizcaya bridge) 10:15 Of these ruled geometries, one that he had studied in architectural school, was the catenary curve: profile resulting from a cable hanging under its own weight (uniformly applied load)., which five years earlier used for the Vizcaya Bridge, west of Bilbao (1893), suspension steel truss.

  • Simple Innovative Comparison of Costs Between Tied-Arch Bridge and Cable-Stayed Bridge
    MATEC Web of Conferences 258, 02015 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/20192 5802015 SCESCM 20 18 Simple innovative comparison of costs between tied-arch bridge and cable-stayed bridge Järvenpää Esko1,*, Quach Thanh Tung2 1WSP Finland, Oulu, Finland 2WSP Finland, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam Abstract. The proposed paper compares tied-arch bridge alternatives and cable-stayed bridge alternatives based on needed load-bearing construction material amounts in the superstructure. The comparisons are prepared between four tied arch bridge solutions and four cable-stayed bridge solutions of the same span lengths. The sum of the span lengths is 300 m. The rise of arch as well as the height of pylon and cable arrangements follow optimal dimensions. The theoretic optimum rise of tied-arch for minimum material amount is higher than traditionally used for aesthetic reason. The optimum rise for minimum material amount parabolic arch is shown in the paper. The mathematical solution uses axial force index method presented in the paper. For the tied-arches the span-rise-ration of 3 is used. The hangers of the tied-arches are vertical-The tied-arches are calculated by numeric iteration method in order to get moment-less arch. The arches are designed as constant stress arch. The area and the weight of the cross section follow the compression force in the arch. In addition the self-weight of the suspender cables are included in the calculation. The influence of traffic loads are calculated by using a separate FEM program. It is concluded that tied-arch is a competitive alternative to cable-stayed bridge especially when asymmetric bridge spans are considered.

Modernisme was made pos- sible in Catalonia by the growth of construc- tion through the urban development project of the Eixample (expansion) following a plan by Ildefonso Cerdà. The old walls were demo- lished in 1854, and a new city sprang up. The emerging bourgeoise, enriched thanks in parti- cular to the textile sector, was looking for ways to show off its power. This was a golden age for the architects, the real protagonists of Mo- dernisme, who broadened horizons and excer- cised their skills in other fields.

Over the last decade the capital of Catalonia has been the star of European urban tourism, as visitor figures have doubled. With the impetus from the 1992 Olympic Games it entered the world club of cities and became a global reference for international urban tourism. With sixteen million overnight stays per year and around seven million tourists a year, Barcelona has been the great ‘discovery’ for holiday tourism in recent years. This is an acknowledgement that now complements the traditional activity of business tourism in the city, which itself continues to grow in size and prestige. The Catalan capital has emerged as a major tourism destination. People from around the world choose it for their holidays and weekend breaks, due to its unique characteristics, as it brings together an intense and varied number of enticements and attractions in a city of human dimensions.
