Gaudí - the King of
architects or the mad
builder?
Antoni Gaudi i Cornet was born in Baix
Camp, Tarragona, in 1852. When he was a
child. he was often illwith arthritis, So he
couldn't play with other children. He spent
alot of time looking at animals and plants
and thinking about their shapes. Gaudíthen
studied architecture in Barcelona. He didn't go out with the other students
very much. He preferred to study alone in the library. He was particularly
interested in books and illustrations from the Middle Ages. Some of his ideas
and sketches were very unusual. Some students and teachers thought Gaudí
was mad. Others thought he was a genius.
Gaudís most famous building is the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. He spent
43 years working on this extraordinary cathedral and he even lived there.
It is not finished today. At present it has eight very tall towers covered in
mosaics made from coloured glass.
Another famous Gaudí project is Parc Güell, also in Barcelona. Here you can
coe Caudí's interest in plants and animals. There is a bench shaped like a
snake and a mosaic lizard sitting between two staircases.Gaudí used many
different materials in his buildings - stone, pottery, tiles, iron, glass, and
bricks. He used broken tiles on the roofs because they were cheaper and he
could make interesting designs with them.
Gaudí became very famous during his life, and many rich people asked him
to design buildings for them. But the Sagrada Familia was always the most
important project for him, and he worked there until the day he died in 1926.
