Project for entrance examination : cross-section of the university lecture hall.
This draft already reveals Gaudi's tendency to combine various architectural styles, leading the work a quality of its own : the dome in the middle contrasts with the austere lines of the rectangular facade.
Gaudi created a synthesis by intimating a gabled roof on the top of the dome.
This mixture of styles may have astounded Gaudi's teachers at the academy, but the project was only a "pass" mark- the lowest possible mark give by the university.
