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!!!
