BRAVE NEW WORLD

Hi!
i sincerely think that i haven't read enought in my life, so between the few ones books i read i will make a choose.
the most amazing book i have read i think that its "brave new world" (1938), wrotten by Aldous Huxley.
Its an amazing tale of how can be the future of the humanity in X more years, with bio-development and social handling... a very scary but probable future for the human kind...
The great of this book are that many things written on it, are happening now, and if you think, the man who wrote this book was born in 1890 or something, so he was veeeeery clever! in fact he was a bioligist and he mixed all the concepts from the biology and literature and he made his most popular book.
there are some people whoe really study this book, cose there are maaaaaaany things that are happenign and probably will keep on happen, cose trust me, he was a visionary or something... jajajaj, probably just very clever....

see you soon

Antonio Gaudí


Antonio Gaudí was born in Catalunya, Spain... he was a visionary of what could be modern architecture in 1900 or even less. his buildings were full of nature shapes, he always was searching in the nature new ways to build his buildings.

When you see his works, you can see clearly all the biological and phisical researchs that he have done for do a small piece of something.

His most spectacular invent was the catenary arch, its an arch that he research putting some chains up side down an see how they work with some pounds on it.

its so nice when you see in a mirror under the instalation, how the shape of the building its taken form.

In his studio there are some examples of how hi made it to build "La Sagrada Familia" in Barcelona... a hugh building that never ends! jajaja, he started 100 years ago and still remains something like 60 years...

there are many other buildings made it by his hand (literally) like Batlló house, Mila house (La Pedrera) or the Park Güell... all this buildings are in Barcelona.

On his last days hi past enclosed on a very little room trying to finish "La Sagrada Familia" but he never end it, becose hi died when he were walking to see how it was going the cosntruction of it. he died by a tram.


here i will post some pictures of "La Sagrada Familia"


Cheers!!!
