Artist; Gaudi

Gaudi
Gaudi creates organic forms in architecture.
here we see a collonade using cement to represent the trunks of trees. 
I think Gaudi's designs are very effectinve, his designs are not just there to fulfil their purpose. His approach to Architecture is completely unique, studying natures angles and curves and incorporating this in his work.



Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece:
 La Sagrada Família



Having visited the Sagrada Familia, its clear that these pictures do not do the temple justice. The sheer size of the project and the inexplicable detail put into every inch of the building, is like nothing I have seen before.

The project has been under construction since 1882 and is not expected to be finished until 2026.
Gaudi once remarked "My client is not in a hurry."


In my project I have been taking pictures natural elements including zoology. I think that gaudi's architecture has a link to my pictures as i have been very interested in the shapes and patterns that that can be found in a zoological form and how this can look almost man made. Gaudi is also famous for using organic materials in architecture and when designign the Sagradda Familia remarked:

"Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator"
