[Brett-EDH]

I’d be remiss if I added anything else after his name in this thread.

Genius.

When form and art collide to create natural spaces. The true inventor of ergonomics.

Gaudi’s organic designs just captivate your soul and physical mind. He was a genius way ahead of his time, peers and engineering math.

Brilliance. Forming the roof using gravity to crate a negative and a mirror to create the positive, organic roof structure.

The roof was an active part of the building with sitting areas and architectural art built into the roof.

After Casa Milà, Gaudi spent the next 40 years and the rest of his life on designing and building Sagrada Família which is still under construction 141 years as of today.

“Completion” is projected to take place in 2026. I don’t think it will even be “completed.”

Gaudí wouldn’t want it that way.











Hopefully we will see and visit Segrada Família Monday. We were caught in a snafu today which derailed our plans. Fingers crossed.
