Antoni Gaudí

(Spanish, 1852–1926)

Antoni Gaudí was a renowned Spanish architect and designer known for his imaginative buildings. Many of the artist’s most famous works, including Güell Park and the Sagrada Família, are located in Barcelona. "There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature,” he once said. “Therefore, buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners.” Born on June 25, 1852 in Reus, Spain, early on, Gaudí showed an interest in design, graduating from the Barcelona Higher School of Architecture in 1878. Soon after completing his studies, he began developing his own style, which was marked by a juxtaposition of geometric shapes, animated surfaces of patterned brick or stone, and floral or reptilian metalwork. In the latter half of his career, the architect created a type of structure he called equilibrated, which allowed buildings to stand on their own without internal supports. Gaudí used his equilibrated system to build two famous Barcelona apartment buildings: the Casa Batlló and the Casa Milà. The architect died on June 10, 1926 in Barcelona, Spain, after he was struck by a trolley car nearby the Sagrada Família, which remains under construction to this day. The structure has a projected completion date of 2026, to mark the anniversary of his death. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, among others.
