Antoni Gaudí

Antoni Gaudi was a Catalan architect who was born in 1852 and died in 1926. He was one of the best exponents of the modernism. He made a lot of projects and buildings that are very different than the common architecture (square shapes and regular and symmetrical structures based on the efficiency and with a very low interest on the design) because he made buildings with rounded shapes and multiple colors trying to be like the nature. One of the most famous buildings he made is the Sagrada Familia, a catholic temple that is so enormous that it is still being built, even after Gaudi’s death.

I admire him because I visited Barcelona, where he has all his projects, and I loved the way he builds, having so much care about the design, but always with a strong structure. If you ever travel there, you will be amazed because is a very different type of architecture that we are not used to see in our "normal" lives. Even, I also think that especially in Santiago the architects (or the building companies) care too much about make buildings that will make them earn more money, but they never care about for example how that building affects the environment, just like it happened in Castro with that huge mall.
