The Architecture of Reading

My REACH readers experienced an architectural tour of the famous architect, Antoni Gaudi. They appreciated how he incorporated his love of nature into his designs. After reading the text, "A Dragon on the Roof: The Surprising Architecture of Antoni Gaudi", they wrote a short summary about Gaudi and then practiced being an architect. They chose something they loved and designed a building to represent their interest. Check out the designs these young architects sketched.
Take a video tour of Gaudi's most famous buildings. .
This summer my father-in-law went on a visit to Spain and toured several of Gaudi's works. Here are a few photographs of the church Gaudi worked on for over 40 years!
