Park Güell, Barcelona, Spain

1914 · Barcelona, Spain

Park Güell

Begun as a housing development and opened as a park, its principal works date roughly from 1900 to 1914.

Terrain, column forests, porticoes, and plazas form a choreographed walking sequence.

Gaudí integrates ornament with structure, drainage, and seating.

It is a living study of architecture and urban parkland combined.
