Antoni Gaudi was a Spanish architect whose distinctive style has left a mark on Barcelona. His works were inspired by oriental arts. Born on June 25, 1852 in Reus, Gaudi is remembered for his unique and creative architectural designs.
He is also credited with the introduction of techniques in treating of materials, such as trencadis, made of waste ceramic pieces. Sagrada Familiaa, a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, is considered as a masterpiece of his work. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As an ardent architecture student, Gaudi spent much of this time collecting photographs of Egyptian, Indian, Persian, Mayan, Chinese, Moorish monuments and Japanese art that inspired his later works.
Gaudi's works are highly imaginative. Inspired by nature, Gaudi put much emphasis to express his work through organic and anarchic geometric forms of nature.
Some of his designed projects include a cemetery gate (1875), a Spanish pavilion for the Philadelphia World Fair of 1876, a quay-side building (1876), a courtyard for the Diputacio de Barcelona (1876) and many more.
Several of his artistic works have been granted World Heritage status by UNESCO.
Gaudi met an accident on June 7 and eventually breathed his last on June 10, 1926. Google pays tribute to this impeccable mind with a doodle that features six magnificent works of Antoni Gaudi's architectural creations.
