Antoni Gaudi
The Architect of Nature
La Sagrada Familia the master piece of Antoni Gaudi
La Sagrada Famila is a building located in Barcelona Spain six blocks away of where I used to live. It was design by a unique architecture call Antonio Gaudi, just by admiring this building you can immediately conclude that this was not a typical architect. He’s design is inspire by nature and natural forms. In La Sagrada Familia this style was implement by creating a design that resemble a mountain spikes raising to the sky with a surface that almost look like if the building was sculpture from an ancient mountain.
Every time I looked at this church, I could almost feel as if I was Gaudi, and if the building was created by inspiration of a dream given by God himself. As a person that is passionate about architecture this building is a masterpiece that will be admire through out the centuries. This is the only building that I had seen that I cannot imagine human labor involved in the creation. Often when I see a building I imagine how it was created and how many people give their talents and heart to build real architecture but when I see the La Sagrada Familia it seen to be build by the rain and time, as a aging rock gets their beauty from the years.
I spend many afternoons in a café right next to this building, it felt like the best place to be and study. But that was not the best view of the church. I remember looking from my balcony towards the building thinking (if is even possible to build something like that now days?) it seen unreal but it was als a gift in the morning for my. I had forgotten how it felt to see masterpiece of architecture such as this. Even thought I cannot tell you where it send me on time, I can say that La Sagrada Familia do make me think in a time where architecture was created to resemble the idea of heaven. A time where it only purpose was to create beauty to inspired people and this is something that is almost absence in today’s architecture.
