Abstract


The Park Güell of Barcelona, by Antoni Gaudí, is one of the most beautiful architectural landscapes ever conceived by man. The natural forms and those created by the author intermix in a suggestive and disturbing harmony. To construct these forms, Gaudí resorted to his structural intuition and risked using certain materials in an original manner. Only the dissection forced by the restoration of this aging work has allowed us to unravel some of its enigmas. The surprise produced by some of the solutions, does not alter, nonetheless, our considerations towards the powerful intuitive and creative capacity of Antoni Gaudí.
