Antoni Gaudí i Cornet was a Catalan architect who has been internationally recognized as one of the most prodigious experts in his discipline, as well as one of the greatest exponents of modernism. His exceptionally groundbreaking genius was the architect of a unique, personal and incomparable architectural language that is difficult to label.
In 1870 he moved to Barcelona to study architecture while doing various jobs to pay for his studies. He was an irregular student, but he was already showing some signs of genius, which opened the door for him to work with some professors. In 1878, when he was finishing his studies at the School of Architecture, Dean Elies Rogent declared: “I do not know whether we confer this title on madmen or geniuses, time will tell.” There was no denying it. The man’s idea was not simply to repeat what he had done before, nor would he leave anyone indifferent.
Between 1906 and 1910, Pedro Milá y Camps, a lawyer, industrialist and politician, and Roser Segimon, who was part of Barcelona’s emerging bourgeoisie, commissioned Gaudí to build Casa Milà, which is now known as La Pedrera. This building belongs to his naturalist period; Gaudí was inspired for his construction by the organic forms of Nature and also provided the design with a certain dose of Baroque. On 3 November 1883 Gaudí agreed to take charge of the works on the Sagrada Familia de la Expiación, which were begun on 19 March 1882 by Francisco de Paula Villar. Gaudí completely overhauled the original project, but it wasn’t until 1915 that the temple became his greatest achievement, becoming the most famous and revered work in the world.
In 1877, Emilio Sara Cortés (one of Gaudí’s architecture professors) constructed the building that would eventually become Casa Batlló. In 1903, Josep Batlló y Casanovas, a textile industrialist who owned several factories in Barcelona and was a prominent businessman, bought the building, contacted Gaudí for the renovation and was given total freedom to carry out the project. Gaudí transformed the exterior and expanded the light, making his interior a true work of art.
Gaudí became famous as an architect after receiving his first commission, the Torre de Vicens, a modernist building he built between 1883 and 1888. Gaudí impressed Catalan industrialist Eusebi Güell with an exhibition of modernist designs at the 1878 Paris Exposition Universelle. Comella glove shop. On his return to Barcelona he contacted the architect, with whom he struck up a long friendship and obtained fruitful patronage for the construction of the Güell Pavilion between 1883 and 1887. Güell Palace, 1886-1890; Château Güell, 1895-1901; Crypt of Colonia Güell, 1898-1914, and Park Güell, 1900-1914. His friendship with Eusebi Güell brought Gaudí closer to the Marquis of Comillas, for whom he built the Villa El Capricho in the Cantabrian town of Comillas. 1883 and 1885.
