Karl Palmer P.5 Spanish Antoni Gaudi
Born June 25, 1852 in Catalonia, Spain Antoni Gaudi as a child suffered numerous times from rheumatic fevers that were common at the time. Being sick caused him to be alone most of the time, and it also allowed him to spend lots of time alone with nature. It was thought that the exposure to nature inspired him later to use the natural shapes and themes into his works. Birth
When Gaudi went to school, he attended the Escola Tècnica Superior d'Arquitectura in Barcelona from 1873 to 1877. He didn’t excel in many subjects, but he did well in trial drawings and projects After five years of hard work, he achieved the title of an Architect. Soon after he was awarded, he worked on plans and designs for buildings. Most of these are found in Barcelona. Early Education
