We are all impressed by the architectural marvels that are planned for around the world. However, some designs are so cutting edge, that the architects who create them are questioned to be ‘nuts or genius’.

Antoni Gaudi, featured here, was one of those questioned architects.  Like so many recognized artists, Gaudi was an average student.  Accordingly, the instructor who signed his diploma put him in the “nut or genius” class.

Gaudi was a risk taker for sure and each work he has completed evokes many emotions.
