Antonio Gaudí es un famoso arquitecto.

Su estilo es divertido, loco, brillante… ¡perfecto!

Gaudí es de Barcelona, España.

Una ciudad con arte, cultura y donde mucha gente se baña.

Carmen Herrera, Manuel Muñoz

Gaudí dice: “Mi inspiración es la tierra, las estrellas y el mar.

Mis casas tienen cuerpo de lagarto y tentáculos de calamar.”

Le dicen a Gaudí: Y Gaudí contesta: “¿Y por qué no es redondo, ondulado o triangular?”

Carmen Herrera, Manuel Muñoz

Un arquitecto piensa: “Esta puerta tiene que ser de color marrón.”

Pero Antonio Gaudí piensa: “Esta puerta puede ser la boca de un dragón.”

Carmen Herrera, Manuel Muñoz

Otro arquitecto dice: Antonio Gaudí responde: “¡No! ¡Mosaicos en la pared y muchos colores!”

Carmen Herrera, Manuel Muñoz

La Sagrada Familia es su obra más famosa.

Es una catedral enorme, súper original y ¡fabulosa!

Es una catedral grande, alta y colosal, los constructores no terminan y van por la mitad.

“La catedral es para Dios. Él nunca tiene prisa.”

Contesta Gaudí con una sonrisa.

Carmen Herrera, Manuel Muñoz

5

Es triste porque cuando sale de la Sagrada Familia un día, Gaudí tiene un accidente con un tranvía.

El conductor dice:

Gaudí termina en un hospital para pobres pero ya es tarde. ¡Qué lástima! ¡El genio Gaudí muere…, ¡pero no su arte!

Carmen Herrera, Manuel Muñoz

Esa noche en honor a Gaudí se visten de colores las estrellas y se llevan a Gaudí al cielo para estar siempre con ellas.

Cada noche, desde las estrellas, se escucha esta canción: “Terminen mi catedral”- canta Gaudí con emoción.

¡EL FIN! Carmen Herrera, Manuel Muñoz

Cultura Antonio Gaudí Antonio Gaudí (1852-1926) is one of the most important Spanish architects ever. The greater part of his work is in Barcelona, the city where he lived most of his life.

Gaudí’s inimitable creations include private houses, religious buildings and land art.

La Sagrada Familia is Gaudí’s most famous work. It is a very Parque Güell is another popular construction by Gaudí. It is sculptures and buildings. There are many mosaics and even a small palace, fairy-tale style.

More highlights in Gaudí’s catalogue are Casá Milá and Casa Batlló. Casa Milá has a wavy shape imitating the effect of the sea against the beach sand. The Casa Batlló resembles and twisted shapes.
