How did Gaudi change the world?
How did Gaudi change the world? Gaudí's creative genius—and the curves, shapes, and ornamentations it produced—literally changed the face of architecture and building technology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Gaudí recognized the formal order inherent in most architecture before his time—and deliberately turned it upside down.
Why was Gaudi different?
Gaudi was inspired by nature and the beauty around him. His organic style differentiates Gaudi from other architects because no one can infuse nature into an architectural creation as Gaudi can. Every detail ties in something new, leaving every project truly unique. Barcelona hosts Gaudi's greatest masterpieces.
How many houses did Gaudi design?
Antoni Gaudí was Barcelona's most famous architect and he created three houses, Casa Batlló, Casa Mila and Casa Vicens that are open to the public for visits.
Was Gaudi rich or poor?
Gaudi was born in Catalonia in 1852 into a wealthy family and a life filled, as Tarragona puts it, with horses, opera, and the best restaurants.
Why did Gaudi never marry?
Gaudi never married, though that had nothing to do with his religion, Tarragona says. He was simply unlucky in love. His last few months were spent completely immersed in his work, living next to his workshop inside the church.
