巨大的彩花玻璃窗，我在欧洲见过的最漂亮的拼花玻璃窗。让我想起在尼斯看过的Chagall 美术馆里我非常喜欢的他的那扇拼花玻璃。 当然这个要辉煌得多了。Beautiful Stain glass. The prettiest I've ever seen, it reminded me of the stained glass window in Chagall museum at Nice. Except this is in a much grander scale.
树林一般的柱子林 Forest of columns
“耶稣诞生”门 Nativity Facade
教堂里也有一个高帝博物馆，比较高帝建筑设计和自然元素之间的联系。这里是树林和教堂主体里面的柱子丛林之间的相似之处。连树叶之间落下的阳光都被设计进去了。There is a museum in La Sagrada Familia, where they compared elements of Gaudi's architecture design with nature. Here it's the similarity between the forest and the columns, even the sunlight through the leaves were in the design of the roof!
屋顶的流线型好像魟鱼的身体和干树叶的自然起伏 The wavy roof and sting ray and leaves.
圭尔公园的回廊走廊和海浪的相似，神圣之家塔楼的楼梯和贝壳的纹路。Parc Guell's corridor versus waves, La Sagrada Familia's tower stairs versus seashell's spiral.
高帝喜欢用抛物线的形状来做建筑骨架。他用相互连接的铁链自然下垂成抛物线然后拍成照片，倒过来之后就是他设计的建筑结构。他用这种方法来研究建筑的受力点。Gaudi likes catenary arches. He uses intricate iron chains hanging upside down to form the shape of a building, upside down. He studies the force bearing point of his structure that way, too.
