A Building I like


Hello classmates!
Today I’m going to talk about one amazing building, it is the Sky Tower, this building is located in Auckland, New Zealand. Rising 328 meters above the Auckland skyline, the Auckland Sky Tower is truly a landmark icon and a must attraction for all visitors to Auckland. Several restaurants are located within the tower complex, which also offers bungy jumping.

I met it like 5 years ago, when I was doing an exchange in New Zealand, the first thing I noticed is the impressive height of this building....

A Piece of Art

Hello classmates!
Today I’m going to speak about a piece of art. The truth is that I'm not very fanatic of art, so I chose an architect who is an artist for me. His name is Antoni Gaudi and the works that I like the most are the “Casa Milá” and the “Park Güell” both are situated in Barcelona, Spain.
I didn’t know these works and this artist until I went to Barcelona for my school trip. I fell in love immediately when I went there. I like them because they are completely different to a normal arquitectural work, his way of working the materials inspired by the organic forms of nature and the great creative and imaginative ornamental freedom.
I think that Gaudi thinking is very especial and imaginative that’s why I like it, because he does what he really likes without thinking about what think other people.
I hope you have enjoyed this little introduction to this great artist, and if you didn’t know about him you can take a look of his works in Barcelona like the “Sagrada Familia”, because they are amazing. See you at the next one! Bye
