# Antoni Gaudí

> Barcelona is full of buildings that look like they grew instead of were built — melting stone, rainbow tile, spires that twist like living bone. Nearly all of them trace back to one man who stopped drawing blueprints and started sculpting cities.

## Bio

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet was born in Catalonia on 25 June 1852. He trained as an architect and entered the Modernista movement at the end of the nineteenth century, influenced by neo-Gothic art and Oriental techniques, but his work soon pulled away from any school. He combined ceramics, stained glass, wrought iron, and carpentry into structures inspired by natural forms, introducing trencadís — mosaics made from ceramic waste — and rarely drawing detailed plans, preferring three-dimensional scale models he could shape as he went. Most of his work is in Barcelona; his unfinished magnum opus, the Sagrada Família, is now the most-visited monument in Spain. Seven of his works became UNESCO World Heritage Sites between 1984 and 2005. His Catholic faith deepened as he aged, religious imagery wove through the buildings, and he earned the nickname "God's Architect." He died on 10 June 1926. In 2003 the Archdiocese of Barcelona opened his cause for canonisation; in April 2025 Pope Francis declared him Venerable.
