wonderful architect.

Today is day 4-4 architects...Didn't know where to start finding an architect on Christmas eve, so resorted to blipping my favourite architect of all time.
Antoni Gaudi. 1852-1926
This photo is some of his uniquely designed apartments.
As a devoted Catholic, he designed a structure that will become one of the most populous churches in the world - Sagrada Familia. He designed it to have 18 towers - 12 for the 12 apostles, 4 for the 4 evangelists, one for Mary and one for Jesus. The work on Sagrada Familia commenced in 1882 and is expected to be completed in 2026.
Gaudí's masterpiece is a combination of three styles - Spanish Late Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau. The plan of the building is truly unique, characterized by a remarkable complexity: there are double aisles, three portals and three façades. The whole structure is 90 meters long, 60 meters wide and it will be 170 meters high when the last tower will be finished.
Just as a bye the bye, I have a friend whose step son is working on the cathedral trying to decipher the plans left behind.....
Hope all tomorrow's plans are falling into place.
