1. His muse was Mother Nature. A great observer he was inspired by the
architecture of the natural world, which he studied during frequent walks
in the countryside or even trips to the caves of Montserrat. Just check out
any of Gaudi’s building to see the direct incorporation of God’s own
handiwork.

la arquitectura del mundo natural, que estudió durante las frecuentes
caminatas en el campo o incluso excursiones a las cuevas de Montserrat.
Inspeccionar cualquiera de Gaudí del edificio para ver la incorporación
directa de la obra de Dios.
He believed in God. Fervently.
Él creía en Dios. Fervientemente.
He was a keen recycler, using
broken industrial tiles to decorate
the likes of Park Guell.
Era un entusiasta reciclador,
utilizando baldosas rotas
industriales para decorar los
gustos del Parque Güell.

2. He was a Catalan nationalist and was (briefly) arrested in 1924 for refusing
to speak Spanish to a policeman on Diada des Catalanes (the day marking
the Spanish conquest of Catalonia in 1714).

When Gaudí graduated in 1878 from
Barcelona’s School of Architecture, its
director announced: “Gentlemen, we are
here today in the presence of either a
genius or a madman.”

hoy en presencia de un genio o un loco."
He never married
Nunca se casó
During his lifetime a large proportion
of people to thought Gaudi was crap.
That includes Pablo Picasso and George
Orwell (both Barcelona residents for a
time), the latter of whom described LA
Sagrada Familia as one of the world’s
most hideous buildings.
Durante su vida una gran proporción de
gente pensaba que Gaudí no iba a
llegar muy lejos. Eso incluye a Pablo
Picasso y George Orwell (ambos
residentes de Barcelona), el último de
los cuales describe La Sagrada Familia
como uno de los edificios más horribles
del mundo.

He hardly looked Catalan, with his
bright blonde hair and blue eyes.
Apenas parecía catalán, con su
brillante cabello rubio y ojos azules.
The only project the City of
Barcelona ever assigned him was the
design of street lights (you can see
some on Plaza Real). In fact
authorities repeatedly tried to
prevent construction on many of his
works as he had a habit of flouting
building regulations with his
expansive extensions. Naturally he
ignored them.
El único proyecto en la ciudad de
Barcelona le habian asignado fue el
diseño de luces de la calle (se puede
ver en la Plaza Real). De hecho las
autoridades repetidamente intentaron
impedir la construcción de muchas de
sus obras como tenía la costumbre de
burla de las regulaciones del edificio
con sus amplias extensiones.
Naturalmente los ignoró.
He was a vegetarian.
Era vegetariano.
