==I am Carla Elena Zamora . I'm 20 years old and I study Architecture at the USB.  I like architecture because I think it is a good way to help people have comfortable spaces where they live. It is very interesting to do this by using my imagination and my creativity. I love listening to music, reading some books, going to the beach, hanging out with my friends and playing the violin. I  was in the orchestra of the city where I live, but I left when I went to university, now I play the violin in my house when I have time. I live with my aunt since I was 11 years. In my house we're 3: my aunt, my cousin and me, and I have a dog, his name is Bandido Pirulo. I can say that I'm an environmentalist, but with a strong character. ==

 * The Statue of Zeus **

==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> This gold and bejeweled statue was commissioned around 438 B.C. by the Council of Olympia to show their respect for Zeus, the ruler and most powerful of the Olympian gods. The statue was created by the sculptor Phidias inside the Parthenon. According to a contemporary source, it was about 12 meters (37 feet) tall. Zeus was seated on a magnificent throne of cedarwood, inlaid with ivory, gold, ebony and precious stones. In Zeus' right hand, he held a small statue of Nike, the goddess of victory, and in his left hand, a shining scepter on which an eagle rested. According to Philon of Byzantium, this was the most inspiring of all of the seven wonders of the ancient world. == <span style="-moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; font-size: 12pt;">


 * The Lighthouse of Alexandria **

==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Built to guide ships through the labyrinth of sandbars that were very dangerous for merchants trying to reach the port of Alexandria in Egypt, the Lighthouse or //Pharos// of Alexandria was the only ancient wonder to have served a practical purpose. Built in the 3rd century B.C., the lighthouse stood some 500 feet (around 166 meters) above the city's western harbor and was financed by the Greek merchant Sostratus, who wanted to help ensure the safety of shipping traffic. With a height variously estimated at between 117 and 134 meters (440 feet) it was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for many centuries. The tower stood relatively intact until a series of earthquakes in the 14th century and gradual deterioration from natural elements caused the structure to collapse and eventually be dismantled for its stones. == ==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Constructed from blocks of light-colored stone, the tower was made up of three stages: a lower square with a central core, a middle octagonal section, and, at the top, a circular section. The design of minarets in many early Islamic mosques many centuries later followed a similar threestage design, showing the building's broader architectural influence. == <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">

==<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #3b3bd8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">......The seven wonders of the ancient world were buildings that required a great mental and physical effort for its construction. You can say that one that required a greater effort were the Giza Pyramids for its monumental size and perfection in every detail. However, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are what caught my attention, because it fascinates me that a person has created a work of such magnitude for his wife and each of the plants of the terraces have been adapted to the conditions of that geographic area. ==

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Guell Park... a wonderfull construction.
==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Until now we have been talking about a lot of buildings, 21 to be exact, it were considered to be part of the wonders of the world,. Seven of which were selected as worthy of the prize, but in my opinion have left out one of the most magnificent constructions. I'm talking about the Guell Park designed by Gaudi, located in Barcelona, Spain. == ==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> This park was commissioned to Gaudí by businessman Eusebi Guell. This construction began in 1900 and ended in 1914. In 1922 it was opened as a public park. This park contains stone structures, stunning ceramics and fascinating buildings. This work was greatly influenced by forms of nature. The sculptures more emblematic are the Fountain Dragon, located on the main staircase, a large hall with columns that despite their strange form gives the effect of leave the earth. At the top of Park is a terrace with a wonderful view of the park and the city of Barcelona. The Park Guell is also a small house where Gaudi lived sometime. The house has been converted into a museum and contains interesting furniture also designed by Gaudi. == ==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> This park can be considered one of the new Seven Wonders of the World as it represents the work of a great representative of Catalan modernist architecture as Gaudi. ==





=<span style="color: #3bb53b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Antoni Gaudí =

==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Antoni Gaudi was born in Reus, Spain in 1852. He studied at the Escola Superior d'Arquitectura in Barcelona and designed his first major commission for the Casa Vincens in Barcelona using a Gothic Revival style that set a precedent for his future work. == ==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Over the course of his career, Gaudi developed a sensuous, curving, almost surreal design style which established him as the innovative leader of the Spanish Art Nouveau movement. With little regard for formal order, he juxtaposed unrelated systems and altered established visual order. Gaudi's characteristically warped form of Gothic architecture drew admiration from other avant-garde artists. ==

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Although categorized with the Art Nouveau, Gaudi created an entirely original style. He died in Barcelona in 1926.
