Its purpose was to lure buyers to an English-style high-income subdivision (Sobrer 2002: 214). Each of the sixty families was to have an individual house. No wall could be higher than 80 centimeters and no hedges or other obstructions were permitted. “Wildness in nature was celebrated and protected: Oaks, carob trees, Spanish broom, rosemary, and other indigenous plants were preserved” (Kent 2002: 226). Gaudí created the garden with a series of references to Paradise, through allusions to the sacred mountain of Monserrat and the grottoes and shrines of traditional Catalonia that he incorporated into the site's layout” (Kent 2002: 226). The road and path system in Park Güell was to be an interlocking network more than a grid, in contrast to Cerdá’s design for the Eixample, the district beside Park Güell (Hall 1997). Although the commercial project eventually failed, it did not inhibit Gaudí from constructing a massive stone Golgatha at the park summit. Now, there is a brilliantly tiled bench that wraps around the central theater of the park, a Doric-style hypostyle hall that provides space for civic functions and celebration of local festivities honoring Catalan culture. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/20/571/Vyas_Jayati_Audio_-_Park_Guell.m4a c387a60cddd95512066a77ba11a006d7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
