The Sagrada Família “The Temple [of The Sagrada Família] grows slowly, but this has always been the case with everything destined to have a long life. Hundred-year-old oak trees take many years to grow tall; on the other hand, reeds grow quickly, but in autumn the wind knocks them down and there is no more to be said"1. These words, spoken by Antoni Gaudi about his life-long work, Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, are a means to justify the extremely long time needed for the construction
At first sight the Sagrada Família is awe inspiring and breath taking and with this has become recognized as the universal symbol for Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain's capital city, and is unmistakably one of the most magnificent structures ever erected in this region. Spain is embedded with cultural tradition and it is believed its rich history is traced back somewhere within four hundred years of when Rome was established. Thus, setting forth the foundation and importance of history and the conviction
Located in Barcelona, Spain, the Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family) or Sagrada Familia is a large Roman Catholic Church created by architect Antoni Gaudi. Sagrada Familia, also known as the holy family, would be devoted to “The Holy Family” Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph. Despite the church not being fully completed, it is still a top tourist attraction in Spain. The government does not support the project, making the

The paper describes four of Gaudi's many projects in Barcelona: the Sacred Family (La Sagrada Familia), La Pedrera (Casa Milà), La Casa Batlló and the Güell Park. Antoni Gaudi i Cornet was worn in the province of Tarragona in Catalonia in 1852. At the age of 16 Gaudi left his hometown Reus to join the school of architecture of Barcelona. At
audi's style could be described as a mix of Art Nouveau and his own unique organic style, which was influenced by shapes and structures from the natural world. One of Gaudi's most impressive and beautiful buildings is Casa Batlló. Gaudí designed the building for Josep Batlló, a wealthy aristocrat, as an upmarket home. He had asked Gaudi to tear down the old one to reconstruct a new one. Gaudí managed to convince Battló to remodel the existing building instead of tearing it down, and between 1904
best known example of these types of structures. Bordering on the fantastical and fluctuating between real and imaginary, his works make you think twice and leave you awestruck, much like the impressions of the original Gothic structures. La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is one of the best known buildings in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2005, it's construction began more than 120 years ago. Starting in 1882 with a man named Joseph Bocabella, the basilica as we know it today would

ensayo detallaré y estudiare tres de las obras maestras de Gaudí, que hoy en día turistas de todas partes del mundo pueden visitar y apreciar en la ciudad de Barcelona. Primero presentare al gran arquitecto, Antoni Gaudí, siguiente hablare de la Sagrada Familia, y después seguiré platicando de la Pedrera, y para finalizar terminare con la Casa Batlló. Mi propósito es demostrar que las obras de Antoni Gaudí contienen varios tipos de símbolos que se relacionan con una religión o símbolos que tienen que

La sociedad azteca era dividido por el género sin embargo las mujeres eran el corazón de las casas las que cuidaban a las familias y también la mujer estaba para tener a hijos, mientras que los hombres andaban trabajando afuera de la caza, pescando, o luchando en las guerras. Desde el momento en que la mujer nacía en la sociedad azteca la partera le decía a la niña que su
La Comisión Nacional para el Desarrollo de los Pueblos Indígena (2009) clasifica la organización social como sigue: La familia, como para la mayoría de los mexicanos, representa la base de la sociedad, está constituida principalmente por la madre el padre y los hijos. Se acostumbra que los recién casados vivan con los padres de la mujer hasta que tengan los medios suficientes para tener una vivienda propia y el acceso a tierras de cultivo que faciliten su subsistencia.

Like a true Nihilist, Bazarov immediately denounced the act of playing music as a purely romantic institution. "Good Lord! At forty-four, a pater familias, in the province of X, playing the 'cello! Bazarov continued to laugh: but, on this occasion, Arcady, though he venerated his mentor, did not even smile" (50). By this we see that although Arcady looks up to Bazarov, he truly does not uphold the

Prison gangs have been around since the late 20th century and only seem to be getting stronger if nothing is going to be done to prevent them. Gangs in prison have members in and out of prison. One of the more popular gangs that has been gaining steam recently is the mainly Hispanic gang La Nuestra Familia. The purpose of this paper is to write

The letter “Z” or “Zeta” in Spanish was the radio code given to members of the Federal Police in charge of a city (Los Zetas, n.d.) The Zetas TCO first commander, while under the Gulf Cartel, was Arturo Guzmán Decena, whose radio call sign was “Z1”. After Guzmán Decena (Z1) was killed in November of 2002 in Matamoros, Tamaulipas by members of the Mexican Military, Heriberto Lazcano (Z3) took over the paramilitary group;
Mexican Cartels Mexican Cartel’s beginnings have a interesting story. Mexican Cartels came to be when Pablo Escobar, the most powerful drug lord, started expanding even farther than just Colombia. He needed a quicker and more efficient way to get the product to the people who actually bought them. Mexico was a perfect spot to transport all the merchandise to United States. The gangs that distributed these products made a deal with Pablo Escobar and received some share of the merchandise for their
Mexico’s geographic position has served its country well in exporting and importing goods but it also has inflicted other kinds of illegal markets. Illegal trade has always been active between United States and Mexican borders, for example, in 1920 when alcohol was prohibit in the U.S, Mexico was its supplier. In 1980, Mexico did contraband narcotics but in small scales with connections from the Colombian cartels. But since the Colombian cartels in 1990s were dismantled Mexico then took over the
possible instead of relying on an internal split like what had occurred with the Los Zetas cartel. Another example of a cartel splitting is what had occurred to the La Familia Michoacana cartel. However, the result of the split is not as favorable to the Mexican government as it was with the Los Zetas cartel. Although La Familia Michoacana was a powerful cartel,

While the city definitely deserves more time than that with its vibrant and diverse history, art, culture, and culinary scenes, it is possible to squeeze the highlights of Barcelona into one day. Start your day with a tour of Gaudi’s La Sagrada To many, Barcelona is known for its famed architectural history with Antonio Gaudi at the center. Even for those not enchanted by building and church design, you would be remiss not to soak in as
nature, made Gaudi pay more attention to the world that surrounded him (Duran 2-3). Antoni Gaudi went to school in Escola Pies. There, he learned more about his religion, which played a big role in his life and later works, particularly the Sagrada Familia. It also had a bearing on his architecture as it was there that Gaudi was able to develop his strong yet resolute personality which was later reflected in his works. He put a lot of effort into the things that interested him. Those that did not
rarely drew plans, instead much preferring to use models and 3D moulding. His works are largely concentrated in Barcelona, 7 of which have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites, most notably his great and still incomplete masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia. Antoni Gaudi was born in Riudoms or Reus in 1852. He was the youngest of 5 children and one of 3 that survived to adulthood. His exact place of birth is a mystery because no supporting documents were found, causing controversy about him being
used mathematics extensively in his structures, and was inspired by shapes that often appear in nature, such as soap bubbles, and his surroundings such as the wavy rock drippings of Montserrat. One museum even showed the design concept of the Sagrada Família - a series of chains suspended over a mirror. Looking into the mirror, I was able to see the shape of the church. This was one example of how Gaudi found design inspiration. Antoni Gaudí was born in Catalonia on the Mediterranean coast of Spain
