Gaudi’s Facts...

Gaudi was know to have a short fuse.
He said his bad temper was the only thing
in his life that he was never able to control.

Gaudi was in the army for 3 years from
1874-1877. He never faced combat but it
was a requirement he had to fulfill. Gaudi
enlisted on the 7th July and had to pay 37
pesetas for his uniform.

The wavy walls in Casa Mila were meant
to portray the ocean and the doors and
windows look like they are made of sand,
an example of Gaudi’s love of nature.

The city authorities continuously tried to stop
Gaudi’s work as it exceeded city regulations.
The only thing they actually ever assigned
him to design was the street lights.
