Natural forms inspired the decorative details throughout, and materials like iron, glass and wood were innovatively used in the structure and ornament
The document provides details about Antonio Gaudi's Church of Sagrada Familia located in Barcelona, Spain. Some key points:
- Construction began in 1882 and was still ongoing in 1926, with Gaudi drawing inspiration from nature, local methods, and Catalan Gothic style while also incorporating elements of Cubism.
- The five-naved basilica features inclined, tree-like columns and is structured around three large portals depicting biblical scenes.
- Gaudi devised an innovative construction system that removed the need for external buttresses by routing weight directly into the pillars.
The document summarizes three architectural influences that inspired the author's facade design:
1) St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, Russia, known for its bright colors and unique Renaissance style. It was built from 1555-1561 for Ivan the Terrible to celebrate the capture of Kazan.
2) The Mill at Le Hameau de la Reine in France, originally built from 1783-1788 as a rustic retreat for Marie Antoinette, though the mill itself was never used for milling.
3) The Crystal Palace built in London in 1851 for the Great Exhibition, using a highly industrial style with cast iron and glass. It burned down in 1936.
Belgium is a small, highly developed country known for its historic sites and development in arts and culture.

Comparison studies between Romanesque and Gothic architectureNoorul Mushfika
Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque style, with proposals ranging from the 6th to the 11th century, this later date being the most commonly held. While, gothic architecture is an architectural style that was particularly popular in Europe from the late 12th century to the 16th century, during the High and Late Middle Ages, surviving into the 17th and 18th centuries in some areas. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture.

6. SAMPLE TEXT:
ST PAUL’S CATHEDRAL
Saint Paul’s Cathedral is situated in the centre of London, in a
really beautiful area. It was designed by Christopher Wren and
it was built between 1675 and 1708. There are many important
people buried there such as: The Duke of Wellington or William
Blake.
It is made of white stone and it has got an impressive dome,
which is one of the highest in the world. The pillars are good
shapes. From outside is a huge building, and, at night, it has got
a really pleasant light. The south west tower is the most
beautiful because the clock is there.
7. ST. PAUL’S
Inside, it has got a nice atmosphere. The
high altar is awesome, and the altar and
naves are really impressive, surrounded
by pillars and archs.
8. ST. PAUL’S
I have chosen this cathedral because it is one of the most important
buildings in London, which represents the Baroque style. If you visit it,
don’t miss the dome and the windows, which are really stunning.
