Antoni Gaudí

Gaud's lifelong interests in architecture, environment, and religion have had an impact on his creative output.He gave careful thought to every aspect of his projects and included carpentry, stained glass, ceramics, and wrought ironwork forging into his architecture. Additionally, he developed fresh methods for handling materials, such as trencads, which made use of leftover ceramic pieces.

Gaud joined the Modernista movement, which peaked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, under the influence of neo-Gothic art and Oriental methods. His art went beyond the conventions of conventional Modernisme, resulting in an organic aesthetic influenced by organic shapes. Gaud seldom created precise designs for his creations; instead, he preferred to build three-dimensional scale models of them and add features as he had ideas for them.

The work of Gaud is admired and studied by architects all around the world. The Sagrada Familia, his unfinished masterwork, is the most popular tourist attraction in Spain.Seven of his creations were designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites between 1984 and 2005.

Throughout his life, Gaud's Roman Catholic faith grew stronger, and many of his works contain religious imagery. He was given the moniker "God's Architect" as a result, and there were requests for his beatification.
