PASSAGE
The architecture of Antoni Gaudí is synonymous with the city of Barcelona and is renowned for its deep connection to the natural world. Rejecting the flat planes and straight lines of conventional building, Gaudí based his designs on the complex, curving forms he observed in nature. The interior columns of his masterpiece, the Sagrada Família church, soar to the ceiling and branch out like trees in a forest. He studied animal skeletons to understand their efficient, load-bearing structures and incorporated these principles into his designs. Furthermore, Gaudí brought nature's color and texture to his work through his pioneering use of trencadís, a type of mosaic made from broken ceramic tiles, which glisten on his buildings' surfaces like the scales of a reptile.
Which of the following best supports the claim that Gaudí's designs were inspired by nature?
