Tokyo NAKED Meets Gaudí Exhibition Ticket

Gaudí's inspiration across 100 years, reborn with NAKED's production

Antoni Gaudí, the architect who designed the Sagrada Familia, the symbol of Barcelona. The NAKED Meets Gaudí exhibition is an official exhibition held to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Gaudí's death and the completion of the main tower of the Sagrada Familia, the Tower of Jesus, which has been under construction for many years. As the world's first exhibition to sign an official license agreement with the Gaudí Foundation, it is a meaningful exhibition in that it brings together collections from the foundation that have not been easily seen before.
In the exhibition space, Gaudí's handwritten diaries and letters, the actual tools he used, the Sagrada Familia's original blueprints, and elaborate models are displayed along the viewing route. Through unreleased materials that are difficult to see even in Spain, you can gradually follow how Gaudí transformed the curves, light, and geometry of nature into architectural language, and how that imagination was realized in the cathedral's towers and facades. There is also a corner that reads his personality and inner world based on psychological research that analyzed his handwriting, making it fun to understand an architect in three dimensions.
Above all, NAKED's experiential production makes this exhibition special. In the midst of huge projection mapping and sound production, visitors feel a sense of space as if they have entered the cathedral, and through interactive installations, they experience completing a part of the Sagrada Familia together. It is an exhibition where you can experience the colors and light of nature that Gaudí loved, and the temporality that the 'unfinished cathedral' is still being built, with your eyes, ears, and fingertips at the same time. It is a content that I would highly recommend to those interested in architecture, as well as those who like media art and immersive exhibitions.

Area Introduction

Start of the Journey
It is a prologue composition that goes back in time from the end of Gaudí to the beginning.
As the video and spatial production are layered, visitors walk as if they are descending from Gaudí's death to his childhood and youth, and to the starting point as an architect. Passing through a quiet and dark space, it is an area like the first scene that opens the atmosphere of the entire exhibition, making you wonder, what kind of world did this person see?

Memories of the Forest Shade — Gaudí's Hometown, the Forest of Reus
What nurtured Gaudí's sensibility was the sun of Catalonia and the forest of Reus, his hometown, with its dense greenery.
It is an area that deals with the story that the gaze of a child who discovered order and formative beauty in the details of nature, such as the curved lines of branches, the wings of insects, and the spirals of petals, later became the root of his architectural thought.
Walking through a space production like a forest path where light and shadows are intertwined, visitors can also experience the forest of observation that Gaudí saw.

Crucible of Creation — Barcelona, which fostered originality
This section deals with Barcelona at the end of the 19th century, which was boiling with the heat and energy of the industrial revolution.
With the concept that this city, where cultures, people, and technologies from all over the world were mixed, was the crucible of creation that fostered Gaudí's originality, the noise, colors, and rhythms of the street are reconstructed in the space. Visitors feel the hot air of Barcelona with their bodies in the production where light, sound, and video are mixed, and experience how that energy flowed into Gaudí's architectural world.

Workshop of Discovery — Plnicula Experiment, Searching for Invisible Order
This area deals with the process in which Gaudí tried to find the principle of structure in the laws of nature, such as the inverted model (Plnicula model) experiment made by hanging threads and weights.
Here, visitors can create the structure of invisible forces and balance themselves by drawing lines or creating shapes while going back and forth between digital and analog. In a space like a laboratory, it can be seen as a workshop section where you can experience Gaudí's attitude, which was closer to discovery than modeling.

Organic Sea — The Rhythm of Light and Waves Breathing in Park Güell
This area expresses the organic curves and flowing space that can be seen in 《Casa Batlló》, 《Casa Milà》, and 《Park Güell》 with the breath of the sea.
Reflected light, wave-like projections, and organic curved structures are combined to show how architecture built with inorganic materials feels like a living organism. Visitors walk between light and waves and feel Gaudí's sense of architecture of life that crosses the boundaries between inorganic and organic matter with their whole body.

Cathedral of Eternity — Sagrada Familia
This section is centered on the Sagrada Familia, an unfinished cathedral that is still being built for over 100 years.
In this area, from the time the design began to the present, the cathedral shows how it was born, changed, and continued like a record of light. In the colors that pass through the stained glass and the changes in light that vary depending on the time of day, visitors slowly follow the time of the Sagrada Familia, which is a cathedral that continues to live because it is not finished.

Seeds Heading to the Future — Gaudí's Spirit Spreading to the World
The last area focuses on the fact that what Gaudí left behind was not just architecture but a way of thinking.
It introduces how modern architects and artists are inheriting Gaudí's philosophy and expanding it in their own ways, and how that influence is spreading around the world. Through the messages of various creators who respect Gaudí, you can feel what seeds his ideas are sowing in our time.
