Antoni Gaudi: Turning Nature into Stone

Lecturer: Brian Healey 

The story of Spain’s most iconic architect, Antoni Gaudi, from his childhood to his final years dedicated to the realisation of his ultimate fantasy, the Temple of the Sagrada Familia, is    absolutely compelling and immensely moving. This lecture will examine the theories and symbolism behind his creations and how he applied the lessons of nature to create both           magnificent private mansions and a temple, as he saw it, worthy of God himself.
