COMPOSITION OF MODERNISM IN VALENCIA

In the next composition you will enjoy a lot of interesting information about modernism in Valencia. With the information given by other students and with my own research, I did a composition that talks about the characteristics of Modernist architecture in Valencia through its buildings, houses and architects. These are the buildings that I'm going to check to obtain the main characteristics of Modernism in Valencia: Buildings 7 and 8, The Post Office, The Xapa House, The City Hall, The Tatay House, The Fountain Place House, Apartment Buildings 9 and 10, The North Railroad Station, The House of the Swallows, The Dragon House, Apartment Building 2, The Port Sheds, The Ferrer House, Apartment Building 11, The Colon Market, Apartment Buildings 5 and 6, The Sancho House and Cabañal Houses. These amazing buildings of modernist architecture of Valencia were designed by the main architects of modernism in Valencia that are: Antonio Martorel Trilles, Carlos Carbonell Pañella, Demetrio Ribes Marco, Emilio Ferrer Gisber, Francisco Mora Berenguer, Javier Goerlich Lleó, Joaquin Ma. Arnau Miramón, José Manuel Cortina Pérez, Manuel Peris Ferrando, Manuel García Sierra, Miguel Angel Navarrete and Vicente Sancho Fuster. All of these architects have a lot of common because their concepts were of the same artistic style, modernism. Thus, we can see in their works similar characteristics like the use of very colorful animal forms that reflect the community awareness with respect to nature ...
