Gaudi
Architect and designer, Antoni Gaudi is the most internationally prestigious figure in Spanish architecture.
Born in Reus, in Catalonia, he graduated in Barcelona in 1878 and this city became the centre of his activities. One important aspect is his capacity as designer.
This led him to create, in close collaboration with some of the very fine artisans of his time, all those elements making up architectural space - wrought iron, furniture, stained glass, sculptural work, mosaics, ceramics and so on - within an organic concept of decoration and with the integration of these elements into the construction process.
