Antoni Gaudi i Cornet (Reus Riudoms or [1] 25 June 1852 - Barcelona, 10 June 1926) was a Spanish architect, leader of the Catalan Modernism. Gaudi was an architect with an innate sense of geometry and volume, and a great imaginative mind that allowed him to project most of his works before passing to the drawings. In fact, rarely performed detailed drawings of his works, preferring to recreate them on three-dimensional models, molding all the details coming up was going mentally. On other occasions, was winging, giving instructions to his aides on what to do. Possessed of a strong intuition and creative ability, Gaudí conceived his buildings in a holistic manner, taking both structural solutions such as functional and decorative. Studied to the smallest detail of his creations, architecture integrating a range of crafts that he mastered to perfection: ceramics, glass, iron forging, carpentry, etc.. It also introduced new techniques in the treatment of materials, such as his famous "trencadís" made with pottery waste. After some early Gothic influenced by art, as well as certain trends orientalizing Gaudi led to modernism in its most dynamic era between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, Reus architect went beyond the orthodox modernism, creating a personal style based on observation of nature, the result of which was its use of geometric rules, such as the hyperbolic paraboloid, the hyperboloid, the helicoid and the conoid. Gaudi's architecture is marked by a strong personal stamp, featuring the search for new structural solutions, which came after a lifetime devoted to analysis of the optimal structure of the building, integrated into its environment and be a synthesis of all arts and crafts. Through the study and practice of new and original solutions, Gaudí's work will culminate in an organic style, inspired by nature, but without losing the experience gained with previous styles, creating an architectural work that is a perfect symbiosis of tradition and innovation. Likewise, all his work is marked by what were his four great passions in life: architecture, nature, religion and love of Catalonia [2]. Gaudi's work has reached over time with a wide international circulation, with countless studies devoted to his understanding of architecture. Today he is admired by professionals and the public in general: the Holy Family is now one of the most visited monuments in Spain. [3] Between 1984 and 2005 seven of his works have been considered a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Gracias por su comentarios en mi imagen de ayer:
