OUTLINE

We are going to talk about the architect Antoni Gaudi. Our presentation is
about the description of his life, important events that helped the progress of
his career and his legacy an architect. We start with a description of the
character, we continue to describe a bit how his life in his early years, youth
and university years was.

The architect Antoni Gaudi was characterized by his unique styles while
retaining his interest in nature and his particularity in his design. In the last
years of his career, he dedicated his life almost exclusively to the Sagrada
Familia, with this project he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style,
making a synthesis of all the solutions and styles tested until then.

Gaudí achieves a perfect harmony in the interrelation between structural

and ornamental elements, between plastic and aesthetics, between function
and form, between content and continent, achieving the integration of all the
arts in a structured and logical whole, he left his legacy recognizing it as the
"Architect of God" The magic of Gaudi is that he creates a special cosmos in
each of his works and they are all remarkable for something. With each
work, the genius manages to stir something within you.
