Gaudí was a nineteenth century architect
whose work is the cachet of the city. His residential buildings are
scattered throughout the city and there is a park filled with his
"sculptures". A luxury turn-of-the-century apartment building designed
by Antonio Gaudí is now a museum with a remarkable roof . But his crowning
achievement is the cathedral called Sagrada Familia. This was begun in
the 19th century and construction has continued to this very day...and will
continue...yea, even unto the hereafter. Donna was smitten by Gaudí's
unusual designs, but Norbert smelled a bit of humbug in it. Norbert
believes that form should follow function and that Gaudí's work
is gaudy.
