Antoni Gaudí
LEGENDARY ARCHITECT (1852 - 1926)

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet was a famous Spanish architect and designer. He is considered the great master of Catalan Modernism, as he explored many different styles of architecture, and created “equilibrated” structures, which were able to stand on their own without internal bracing. Gaudi's work is best described as free-flowing, full of curving organic forms that are colorful and exuberant. His style was very creative and used lots of strong lines, different shapes, significant arches, unusual texture and patterns. Most of his famous projects are located in Barcelona and include “Park Güell”, “Casa Milá”, “Casa Batlló” and “Sagrada Familia”. The Basilica (Sagrada Familia) is the largest unfinished Catholic Church in the world, part of UNESCO’s World Heritage list and among the most visited landmarks in Europe.
