The Expiatory Temple of the Sacred Family (ein catalnTemple Expiatori dela Sagrada Famlia), Known simply as the Sacred Family, it is a great catholictemple of Barcelona (Spain), designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaud.Initiated in 1882, still it is in construction (May, 2010). It is Gaud's

masterpiece, and the maximum exponent of the modernist Catalan architecture.The idea was to construct an expiatory temple dedicated to The Sacred

family, the materials were principally a rock, stone, but now there are used newmaterials of construction that some of they of them believe, the same Gaudiwould not have used.

One of his more innovative ideas was the design of the high conical circulartowers that stand out aimed on the portals, becoming closer with the height. Itprojected them with a parabolic twist giving an ascending trend to the whole

front favored by multitude of windows that perforate the tower following formspirals.

The temple, when it is finished, will have 18 towers: four in each of three income- portals and, like domes, one will arrange a system of six towers, with the towercentral dome, dedicated to Jesus, of 170 meters of height, other four aboutthis one, dedicated to the Evangelists, and the second dome dedicated to theVirgin. The interior will be formed by innovative tree-shaped sloping columns andvaults based in hiperboloides and paraboloides looking for the ideal form of thechain. When Gaud started directing the construction of the temple, only therewas constructed the crypt, in which it modified the capitals, which happened ofbeing from Corinthian style to another style inspired by vegetable motives.

Gaud evolved from the first Neogothic project towards his particularnaturalistic, organic style adapted to the nature; Gaud was thinking that the

Gothic was Imperfect, because his straight forms, his system of props andbuttresses was not reflecting the laws of the nature, which according to him isinclined to the geometric ruled forms.

My personal opinion: The truth is that I think that it has to intimidate beenough opposite the cathedral, but simultaneously it inspires respect, the truthis that it is a masterpiece. It has to be very beautiful to see it live broadcast.

The museum Guggenheim of Bilbao is a museum of contemporary art designed bythe Canadian architect Frank O. Gehry located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain.

Solomon R treats himself about one of five museums about the Foundation.Guggenheim. It was inaugurated on October 18, 1997 by the King Juan Carlos Iof Spain. His justification like construction is like a museum.The design of the museum and his construction they follow the style and FrankGehry's methods. Since many of his previous works the main frame is radicallyesculpida following almost organic contours. The museum affirms not to containan alone flat surface in all his structure. Part of the building is crossed by a highbridge and the exterior is covered by plates of titanium and for a limestone thatwas very difficult to find (ultimately it was achieved to find in Andalusia) equally

the one that was in use for constructing Deusto's University.

My personal opinion: I think that it has had to of being laborious toconstruct it and that especially more in order that of differentsensations according to the point of view, within surely he will be even mebetter, I say.

Wonder Works is a children's museum, a non-profit corporation established in2002, located in the village of Oak Park, Illinois. It is the successor to the

Children's Museum of Oak Park, established in 1993. The museum is dedicatedto the principle of offering a fun, largely self-directed playing and learning placefor children.

Occupying its own building in one of the village's business districts, the museumattracted fifty thousand visitors in 2004. They enjoyed the facilities as drop-invisitors, as museum members, as birthday party invitees, or as special-eventattendees.

The museum funds its operations by means of the sale of visitor day passes,

yearly memberships, proceeds from special events, proceeds from toy-storesales, and direct grants. Special events generally include subscription-basedconcerts and the rental of a dedicated party room. In 2004 the museum wasfinancially self-sufficient for operations.It is managed by a board of directorscomprising members of the local community; an executive director; an operationsfloor manager; a program manager; and a number of full-, part-time, or volunteerfloor assistants.

My personal opinion: it has to be very funny to be in a museum this wherequite upside-down, it is like a world of marvel, is very subrealistic and

nonetheless this one very well the idea of constructing something likethat.
