Before Gaudi started work on his Sagrada Familia, he tested out his ideas about uses slanted arches and tiles in his new park/ private closed in neighborhood! This neighborhood, park, and self sustainable city all in one was supposed to be the home of Gaudi, his employer, and 80 other noble families! The plan flopped and the only people who stayed in the neighborhood were Gaudi, and his employer. The whole park has everything a person could need, fountains, a food market, which is in the picture, a water cistern, a play ground, strolling parks and a guard house to make sure your house was not broken into! Here is the playground above the market! Each of the columns was hollow, which caught the rain water from the playground and brought it into a cistern for the families to drink! The benches on the perimeter of the playground are ergonomic, which means that it conforms to your back, and makes it comfortable for you to sit in!
