RECONSTRUCTION AFTER ANTONI GAUDI'S HANGING MODEL FOR HIS DESIGN OF THE CHURCH IN COLONIA GÜELL (only the crypt was executed)
The attic of the villa El Capricho (The Caprice), a modernist building designed by the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí, located in Comillas, Cantabria.
“The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (1882), otherwise known as Sagrada Família, is a church under construction in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
It is the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world.
Designed by architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), his work on Sagrada Família is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Antoni Gaudí was a Catalan architect and designer from Spain, known as the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism” (in Wikipedia).
One of Gaudí's projects outside of Catalonia was the Casa de los Botines, in León (1891–1894), commissioned by Simón Fernández Fernández and Mariano Andrés Luna, textile merchants from Leon, who were recommended Gaudí by Eusebi Güell, with whom they did business. Gaudí's project was an impressive neo-Gothic style building, which bears his unmistakable modernista imprint. The building was used to accommodate offices and textile shops on the lower floors, as well as apartments on the upper floors. It was constructed with walls of solid limestone. The building is flanked by four cylindrical turrets surmounted by slate spires, and surrounded by an area with an iron grille. The Gothic facade style, with its cusped arches, has a clock and a sculpture of Saint George and the Dragon, the work of Llorenç Matamala. As of 2010 it was the headquarters of the Caja España.
Barcelona wouldn't sparkle so brightly without the work of Gaudí. The Catalan architect of La Sagrada Família is synonymous with the city - Barcelona, Spain
Mi padre hacía peroles;
mi abuelo paterno hacía peroles;
mi abuelo materno también hacía peroles.
Tiempo atrás vino una antigua vecina a casa,
que me había conocido de niño,
y, al ver el Templo de la Sagrada Familia,
ingenuamente, exclamó:
¡Ay, ay! ¡Hace lo mismo que hacía cuando era pequeño!
Y tenía razón.
Es una aptitud, acumulada por herencia,
la que me mueve y me guía.
(Antoni Gaudí / 1926)
