Description
Antoni Gaud is known worldwide for having created some of the most unique architecture. He created not just apartments, parks, and churches, but works of art. But while his works are well known, his life is not such an open book. Throughout his life, Gaud was influenced by his family, childhood, nature, culture, and faith, elements that are reflected in his later works. Gaud did not write his autobiography; he built it. We must only look at the details and carefully measured design of his works and there lies the best story of Gauds life that we will ever have.
