Parks

poblenou parkThe Parc del Centre del Poblenou is located in the Poblenou neighburhood of Barcelona. It
is designed by Jean Nouvel, a French designer and architect. Except from this park, he
also has designed the Torre Agbar in Barcelona also, located in Plaza Glories.

The park has an incredible area of 5,5 hectares and is a gigantic garden said to be a
sustainable area. It has been designed as a "meeting point" and "acoustic microclimate"
where these expressions are found in the lighting and shadowing of the park. It includes
three gardens. The main garden contains a forest where the end of it has a ramp of
volcanic soil. The second garden includes woodland that surrounds the building of an old
Oliva-Artés factory. Finally, the third garden includes the most prominent feature of the
three parks, a crater in the form of a spiral.

Gaudi Soundbites

Gaudí's dead

Not much people know how Gaudí died. From what it known he was hit by a tram in front of Sagrada Familia when he crossed the street aiming to go to the construction side of his masterpiece.

He lay in the hospital "Hospital de la Santa Creu", but people didn't recognise the famous artist because of his neglected appereance.

Only three days later, a friend of him found him in this hospital and asked for a private room for him. The same day, 10 July 1926 he died. 

He was buried in the midst of La Sagrada Família.
