Description

Gaudi House, The architect Antoni Gaudí I Cornet lived in the home from 1906-1925. The Gaudí House Museum opened on 28 September 1963. He is the best-known practitioner of Catalan Modernism. Gaudí's works have a highly individualized, and one-of-a-kind style. Most are located in Barcelona, including his main work, the church of the Sagrada Família. Under the influence of neo-Gothic art and Oriental techniques, Gaudí became part of the modernist movement which was reaching its peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work transcended mainstream modernism, culminating in an organic style inspired by natural forms. Gaudí rarely drew detailed plans of his works, instead preferring to create them as three-dimensional scale models and molding the details as he conceived them.
During his student days, Gaudí attended craft workshops, such as those taught by Eudald Puntí, Llorenç Matamala and Joan Oñós, where he learned the basic aspects of techniques relating to architecture, including sculpture, carpentry, wrought ironwork, stained glass, ceramics, plaster modeling, etc. He also absorbed new technological developments, integrating into his technique, the use of iron and reinforced concrete in construction. Gaudí took a broad view of architecture as a multifunctional design, in which every single detail in an arrangement has to be harmonized made and well-proportioned. This knowledge allowed him to design architectural projects, including all the elements of his works, from furnishings to illumination to wrought iron
