Antoni Gaudí i Cornet

Place of birth: Reus, Catalonia, Spain | ∗ June 25, 1852 | † June 10, 1926

Gaudí was one of the most distinguished architects of modern Spain and is remembered above all for his visionary contribution to the architecture of Barcelona. Active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he worked in a moment when architecture, craft, and artistic expression were being profoundly redefined. His buildings reveal an exceptional command of geometry, construction, ornament, and symbolic meaning, brought together in a language deeply inspired by nature and faith. He is associated above all with the Sagrada Família, as well as Park Güell, works that confirm the breadth of his invention and the enduring force of his architectural legacy.
