248. The Casino Pleasure Beach. Blackpool

Dear Sarah,

Joseph Emberton designed this building in 1937 that
was opened in May 1939. Although a very different
building, the Casino inevitably draws comparison with
the De la Warr Pavilion designed by Erich Mendelsohn.
Its main staircase, however, owes something to
Gropius’s model factory for the 1914 Werkbund
Exhibition at Cologne.

Best regards.

Dear Frank,

This building is a Yacht Club by Joseph Emberton.
One of my favorite modern buildings in England.

Cristi,

Un amigo inglés me ha traido a este pueblecito 

tranquilo solo para que viera este edificio. Yo, al 

verlo, no he podido evitar pensar en la canción 

de Manolo García que dice:

Barquito liberado a la corriente...
Prueba a surcar rios...

No estaría mal a la orilla del Guadalquivir, 

¿no te parece?

Mil besos.
