Gaudi Designer

Antoni Gaudi 1852 - 1926

Architect and designer, Antoni Gaudi is the most internationally prestigious figure in spanish architecture. 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. The sea landscape was one of his most preferred inspirations. In his own time, Gaudi was both admired and criticised for the audacity and singularity of his innovative solutions. His fame on a world scale has become an unquestioned fact both in specialised circles and among the general public. Pedro Uhart
