Arab room in the heart of the town hall- Salón árabe en el corazon del ayuntamiento

in Architecture+Design3 years ago
Hello friends, I haven't posted here for a long time, until now I didn't have anything interesting to post.

But today is different, thanks to you, I have made myself visit a show that I always wanted to see and that I take advantage of to introduce you.
So open the doors and come with me to see this wonder, which is located in Bilbao in the north of Spain where Arabic is not usually normal, although we have some brushstrokes that we present to you in this cafe where writers used to meet for a long time.
Looking at the stained glass windows of the door can give you an idea of what is hidden inside.
If you are one of those who only look at the first photograph, you will miss a great design full of beauty and reminiscences of other times.
Come feel free to enjoy.

Hola amigos hace mucho que no publico aquí, hasta ahora no tenía nada interesante que publicar.

Pero hoy es diferente, gracias a vosotros, me he hecho visitar un salón que siempre tenía ganas de ver y que aprovecho para presentaros.
Así que abre las puertas y pasa con migo a ver esta maravilla, que se sitúa en Bilbao en el norte de España donde lo árabe no suele ser normal, aunque tenemos alguna pincelada que os presente en este café donde los escritores hace tiempo se reunían.
Mirar las vidrieras de la puerta te pueden dar una idea de lo que dentro se esconde.
si eres de los que solo miras la primera fotografía te perderás un gran diseño lleno de belleza y reminiscencias de otros tiempos.
Pasa siéntete libre de disfrutar.

My mouth opens at such wonder, that golden color as if we were in Mecca and it was the most beautiful palace.

I don't know where to look, there are so many things to see and admire.
My first glance was at the ceiling so we started by craning our necks.

Mi boca se abre ante tanta maravilla, ese color dorado como si estuvieramos en la Meca y fuera el palacio más bonito.

No sé dónde mirar, hay tantas cosas que ver y admirar.
Mi primer vistazo fué al techo así que empezamos alzando el cuello.

They say that the architect Rucoba, who at that time was the official architect of Bilbao, also designing the Arriaga theatre, spent several years in Malaga and admiring the decoration, design and architecture of the Arabs, fell in love with his style and transferred it to a room in the town hall. of the town in the 19th century.
Dicen que el arquitecto Rucoba que en aquellos tiempos era el arquitecto oficial de Bilbao , diseñando también el teatro Arriaga, paso varios años en Málaga y admirando la decoración diseño y arquitectura de los árabes se enamoró de su estilo y lo traslado a una habitación del ayuntamiento de la villa en el siglo XIX.

What to say about this wonder? Its golds are precious with their rosettes full of filigree and accompanied by soft colors.
¿Qué decir de esta maravilla? Sus dorados son preciosos con sus rosetones llenos de filigranas y acompasado con colores suaves.

They make us believe with their colors and luminosity that they are stained glass windows and that the light passes through them, but this is not the case, the paint placed in strategic places, as only the Arabs knew how to do, gives it luminosity and volume.
Nos hacen creer con sus colores y luminosidad que son vidrieras y que la luz les traspasa, pero no es así , la pintura colocada en los sitios estratégicos, como solo los árabes sabían hacer, le da luminosidad y volumen.

The living room is divided into three rooms, by arches making the room seem larger.
El salón está dividido en tres estancias, por arcos haciendo que la estancia parezca más grande.

Its arches cut in semicircles, let the imagination dream, proud and anchored to thin columns, giving the impression that they are not strong enough to maintain the arches, but it gives them lightness.
Sus arcos recortados en semicírculos, dejan soñar a la imaginación, altivos y anclados a columnas delgadas, dando la impresión que no son fuertes para mantener los arcos, pero les da ligereza.

I appreciate every corner as if it had a secret to tell me, I am on a guided tour and I hardly hear the guide (forgive me, you were a very pleasant guide).

Which I had to do to tell you the whole story.
But I can't, I only have eyes, my ears have been closed to leave all the senses in view and the pleasure it brings.

Aprecio cada rincón como si tuviera un secreto que contarme, estoy en una visita guiada y casi no oigo al guía (perdóname, fuiste un guía muy ameno).

Cosa que tenía que hacer para contaros toda la historia.
Pero no puedo solo tengo ojos, mis oídos se han cerrado para dejar todos los sentidos a la vista y al placer que aporta.

But there is me, I was not able to take the photographs without my body in the middle and dressed in winter, when I had to be with a silk tunic, braids in my hair, beads and slippers.
Pero hay estoy yo, no fuí capaz de sacar las fotografías sin mi cuerpo en el medio y vestida de invierno, cuando tenía que estar con una túnica de seda trenzas en el pelo , abalorios y unas babuchas.

How many reflections and how many me, luckily I'm only one.
Cuántos reflejos y cuantas yo, menos mal que solo soy una.

Finally, a photo of mirrors without me haha much more interesting.
Por fin, una foto de espejos sin mí jájá mucho mas interesante.

The center of the walls, painted in pale shades from blue, orange and green, soft and delicate.

The friezes are mosaics of small tiles so characteristic of this art, accompanied in certain places with blue furniture and curtains, which do not let in light.
Los frisos , son mosaicos de pequeños azulejos tan característicos de este arte, acompañado en ciertos lugares con el mobiliario en azul y los cortinajes, que no dejan pasar la luz.

The Arab gold work is detailed, very delicate and here we can appreciate it in its lamps, which changed the oil lamps for modern electricity.
La orfebrería árabe es detallada, muy delicada y aquí lo podemos apreciar en sus lámparas, que cambiaron los quinqués de aceite por la moderna electricidad.

The room comes to life with the reflections of light, the golds shine like gold in a cave where a ray of light enters.
La estancia cobra vida con los reflejos de la luz, los dorados brillan como el oro en una cueva donde un rayo de luz entra.

The lamps were created in Paris under the specifications of the architect himself.

Now we look at the floor, I'm sorry I don't know what kind of wood it is, but it shines and shines and has Mozarabic designs.
Ahora nos fijamos en el suelo, lo siento no se qué clase de madera es , pero brilla y brilla y tiene diseños mozárabes.

The light passes between the curtains, without asking permission, leaving a bright trail.
La luz pasa entre los cortinajes, sin pedir permiso, dejando una estela brillante.

Where every moment, every view, every detail is unique.

Esto es todo lo que os puedo contar, sobre esta estancia.

Donde cada momento, cada vista, cada detalle es único.

We close the door and return to reality.

This room is the auditorium, where the bride and groom give each other the if I love you.
Where the wise men fulfill the wishes of the children.
Where the authorities receive important visitors.
where we for a while have enjoyed its beauty.

Cerramos la puerta y volvemos a la realidad.

Este salón es el salón de actos, donde los novios se dan el si te quiero.
Donde los Reyes magos cumplen los deseos de los niños.
Donde las autoridades reciben a los importantes visitantes.
donde nosotros por un rato hemos disfrutado de su belleza.

The amount of treasures that are housed in our old palaces and period civil buildings is impressive, where it is also shown that there were times when the influences and passion for art and architecture of other cultures were felt. Above all, this authentic wonder, which is located in a north where it could be said that the Muslim influence was less than in the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, is striking. A delicacy to start the day.
Es impresionante la cantidad de tesoros que se alojan en nuestros antiguos palacios y edificios civiles de época, donde también se demuestra que hubo épocas en las que se dejaron sentir las influencias y la pasión por el arte y la arquitectura de otras culturas. Sobre todo llama la atención, esta auténtica maravilla, que se localiza en un norte donde se podría decir que fue menor la influencia musulmana que en el resto de la Península Ibérica. Toda una exquisitez para comenzar el día.

Hello Juankar
It is a beautiful room full of color and details, in a building that is beautiful but without further ado and hides great treasures inside.
It's like a box of chocolates.
The architect spent several years in Andalusia and perhaps the Alhambra and everything that surrounds it with the minarets and all that inspired him.
It may be that he was an Arab in another life, the thing is that he left us this great wonder for the enjoyment of all of us.


Hola Juankar
Es una estancia preciosa llena de color y detalles, en una construcción que es bonita pero sin más por fuero y dentro esconde grandes tesoros.
Es como una caja de bombones.
El arquitecto pasó varios años en Andalucía y puede que la alhambra y todo lo que rodea con los minaretes y todo eso le inspirara.
Puede ser que fuera árabe en otra vida, la cosa es que nos dejó esta gran maravilla para el goce de todos nosotros.

Warm greetings dear friend @txatxy. We surely missed you. And it's with great pleasure that I welcome you back to the Architecture+Design Community.

Islamic architecture will constantly be one of the most fascinating architectural styles in the world. That Arab Room is truly an ideal epitome of its distinctive characteristics demonstrated by the intricate mosaic patterns, tilework, fabrics, fretwork, etc. Extravagance, complexity, and luxury in decoration is the typical defining feature for their design signature.

By the way, that photo with you in front of the tall mirror with an endless replication of its background effect is quite entertaining, haha. 😊

Hi friend
I always like to find new things for you.
Christmas and working life plus the time that does not accompany, it has been impossible for me to find something interesting for this great family.
I think that when I get older my time evaporates hahaha
The room is beautiful, and like a chocolate stands out in a box that is not ugly but not beautiful either.
As you have been able to appreciate, it does not lack detail, perhaps for our time and minimalism is overloaded.
But more than you enter you breathe abundance and beauty, I'm sorry I didn't pay more attention to the guide and find out the whole story, but my mind only thought about photographing every inch haha
Sensations and if you rush me get into the time machine and put on slippers haha
He must have a special taste for you in this room.
You can hardly see my face haha, it was cold and with the hat and the mask I almost look like a ghost, luckily I'm not a model haha
happy week my friend

Yes, I can definitely relate to that. Sometimes when I'm with a tour group, I don't pay attention to the guide especially if the visited landmark is enticing, haha. Or sometimes I stay away from the group to capture the non-touristic aspects of the trip. What's important is that we're having so much fun while traveling and enjoying the various masterpieces of architecture. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experiences. Have an awesome weekend friend!

haha there were many things to see and my sight was able to my hearing haha
happy weekend

So much beauty in one place, I think I would not get tired of observing every detail and form, I wish they still built sites of such majestic, modern architecture has omitted much of the art of detail. beautiful your publication

Hola amiga, estoy contigo ya no se crean cosas tan bellas y con tanto detalle.
Por eso tenemos que preservar estas maravillas que nuestros antepasados dejaron para nosotros.
Yo también me pasaría horas dentro, mirando cada detalle.

"Mi boca se abre ante tanta maravilla" cuando leí esa frase que escribiste, no tenía idea del tamaño y calidad del regalo que nos traías; gracias txaty, por traer hasta el Caribe, esa pieza maravillosa del arte musulmán, plantada en Bilbao, como una hermosa y extraña flor.

Wow, the interior is so amazing! Love the flowing too. Good evening!
