He expressed his creativity by constantly making changes for the benefit of the whole, also being guided by his inspiration and sudden ideas. He placed great importance on the harmony between construction elements, shapes, and materials for a lively synthesis, for a unique work of total art. &nbsp; <em><strong>Gaud\u00ed<\/strong> <\/em>was a man of great talent, an inexhaustible imagination, and a predisposition, one might say, obsessive, to embrace new styles. He often sought empirically the structural limits that would allow him to materialize his imagination in structures of unquestionable solidity. &nbsp; Working in cooperation with local workers, he explored the technical possibilities of the Catalan vault and innovated in many of his constructions, which seem to test the limits of statics. &nbsp; Behind everything <strong><em>Antoni Gaud\u00ed<\/em><\/strong> created, we find his profound metaphysical and religious vision. &nbsp; <em><strong>Gaud\u00ed<\/strong> <\/em>understood that just as nature represents the interaction of a universal divine unity, architecture (understood as the highest of the arts) must also be a reflection and a symbol of this divine unity. &nbsp; Even music should be in harmony with architecture. The cathedral altars were designed to accommodate large choirs. The towers would house enormous custom-made bell tubes, and their ringing, along with the chants of tens of thousands of believers, would transform the entire city into a space of sacred joy. Only a genius like <strong><em>Gaud\u00ed<\/em><\/strong>, with an unquestionable religious faith, could coordinate all this, both mentally and practically, in total harmony.<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><br \/>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-1937935020 {\n  font-size: 1.5rem;\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #text-1937935020 {\n    font-size: 1rem;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"row row-collapse row-full-width align-middle align-center\"  id=\"row-1424870504\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1520412352\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"text-472781136\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<h3>La Sagrada Familia<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The transept of the eastern part, with its four towers shaped like corn cobs, each 100 meters tall, and the main facade were completed during <strong><em>Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s<\/em> <\/strong>lifetime.

Day after day, his fellow citizens could see him on his way to work. In his later years, <strong><em>Gaud\u00ed<\/em> <\/strong>had become an elderly man with a white beard who did not hesitate to ask for alms for his basilica. From 1910 onwards, he rejected all kinds of jobs to focus exclusively on the <em><strong>Sagrada Familia<\/strong><\/em>. Like the builders of the <em>Middle Ages<\/em>, he allowed the cathedral to rise towards the sky from a deep religious spirituality and without external help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the work was abruptly interrupted when <em><strong>Gaud\u00ed<\/strong> <\/em>was fatally run over by a tram on June 10, 1926, while walking around the building. &nbsp; Subsequently, some international alliances were initiated to try to complete the work according to <strong><em>Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s<\/em> <\/strong>original idea. It was not an easy task, considering that <strong><em>Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s<\/em> <\/strong>work was full of improvisations, surprises, and mysteries. He sought intuitive solutions and found a poetic expression for every construction element. To make matters worse, many of the drawings, plans, and models left by <em><strong>Gaud\u00ed<\/strong> <\/em>were destroyed during the <em>Spanish Civil War<\/em>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1952, once the war was over, the country rediscovered <strong><em>Gaud\u00ed<\/em> <\/strong>and his work, a <em><strong>Gaud\u00ed<\/strong> <\/em>renaissance that continues to this day. All of <strong><em>Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s<\/em> <\/strong>buildings were declared <em>World Heritage Sites<\/em>, and the <em><strong>Gaud\u00ed Museum<\/strong><\/em> was built in <strong><em>Barcelona<\/em><\/strong>. Since then, work on the <strong><em>Sagrada Familia<\/em><\/strong> has continued tirelessly. &nbsp; In his non-religious works, <strong><em>Gaud\u00ed<\/em> <\/strong>is more clearly seen as a master of <strong><em>Modernism<\/em><\/strong>, whose intention was to break free from the historical chains of the past and create an innovative and contemporary style for the turn of the century.<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><br \/>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-241505655 {\n  font-size: 1.5rem;\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #text-241505655 {\n    font-size: 1rem;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"row row-collapse row-full-width align-middle align-center\"  id=\"row-2146014516\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1191516113\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"text-3777690388\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<h3>La&nbsp;Casa Batll\u00f3<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Right in the center of <strong><em>Barcelona<\/em><\/strong>, on <em>Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia<\/em>, you can admire <strong><em>Casa Batll\u00f3<\/em><\/strong>. <strong><em>Gaud\u00ed<\/em> <\/strong>renovated an existing building, giving it a total transformation. There&#8217;s nothing in this building that follows a straight line. Instead of right angles and corners, the house appears molded in a wavy, fluid, and dynamic movement. &nbsp; Integrated into the flow of the facade, you&#8217;ll find a colorful mosaic of glazed ceramic pieces and stained glass (the famous <em>trencad\u00eds<\/em>), masterfully and imaginatively created by his collaborator <em><strong>Josep M. Jujol<\/strong><\/em>. The iridescent roof tiles, the <em>trencad\u00eds<\/em>, and the undulating balcony give the house a joyful expression, except for the theater mask shapes on the balconies, made of cast iron and

Stairs, caves, columned corridors, ponds with mosaic tiles, harmless monsters and dragons, and houses that seem to be taken from &#8216;<em>One Thousand and One Nights<\/em>&#8216;, among other elements, create a unique experience.
