This day was a completely unexpected mind-blowing trip! K had been mentioning this architect named Gaudi for a long time. This was his home for many years. He also was the chief architect on Sagrada Familia (which we saw over a week after this). Sagrada Familia church is absolutely something the likes of which I’ve never seen before. I’ll get to that post in a week or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that Gaudi perfected his craft at Park Guell. It was meant to be an incredibly unique land development project with 50 homes. Instead it has 2 homes: Gaudi’s home, and a home up top for a lawyer. It also has a school. Guell was the wealthy financier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My guess is that Guell really embraced Gaudi’s genius and vision to the extent that he abandoned the settlement as a community, and instead went with the concept of keeping it as a park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
