Immersive audiovisual experience that shows the iconography of dragons in Catalonia and the world and transformation of today's Barcelona through modernism. We have developed the content using 2D, 3D and AI animation techniques, spread over different themes such as the legend of Saint George, the history of Casa Amatller, the Block of Discord and modernist Barcelona in 1900.

Immersive audiovisual.
A house, a city, a culture.
The audiovisual is projected in the immersive room of the Digital Museum of the historic Casa Amatller, the work of Puig i Cadafalch. The animations review this exceptional modernist house, its colorful stained glass windows, mosaics and sculptural pieces on the facade. The numerous dragons that this house contains allow us to enter the world of these beasts and their importance in Catalan iconography, such as the popular legend of Sant Jordi. Books, roses and winged beasts fill the walls, floor and dome of the immersive room. An animated journey that takes us from mythology and popular culture to the creation of a city with its own identity and its evolution over the last 150 years.
Visual technology.
Bringing life to the script.
Techniques such as graphic animation, creating depth through parallax, motion graphics, 3D animation and AI build a story that flows while linking the different sections of the script.
3D digital capture.
Turning reality into pixels.
Before the animation, the photogrammetry technique allows to capture and create 3D digital twins of different decorative elements of the Casa Amatller. Some of them are in the form of capitals, gargoyles, balconies and doors. Many of these sculptures are concentrated on the main facade, located in the heart of Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona.
