Antoni Gaudi
The man lived and died a modest man, in fact he lied for three days in a hospital before some one realised that it was him, he would eventually die there after being hit by a tram in Barcelona in 1926. His work still looks new and as brilliant as it was at the start of the last century these three photographs come from the top of the Casa Mila were a roof garden like no other can be found. The locals and tourists alike marvel at what can only be describe as genius.
His mind it has to be said was a little misunderstood, it can only be assumed at what he was thinking when he created this building with no straight edges. What must have gone through the minds of the builders when given the plans. However simply by looking at this building and many others all over Barcelona it can be said that Antoni Gaudi had a great mind which in his day was far beyond any other architect, and that it is only until now that we can fully take pleasure in all of his work.
