In the history of architecture, Gaudi stands alone. His vision of what a building might be was personal to a degree matched by no other architect. Although he found inspiration in many styles of building and decoration -including Gothic, Moorish and Art Nouveau – all of these elements were transmuted through his imagination into structures of breathtaking originality.
Antoni Gaudi i Cornet was born in the town of Reus, near Tarragona, in Catalonia. His father was a coppersmith – a fact that no doubt contributed to Gaudi’s later mastery in designing metalwork. All his life Gaudi had a reverence for craftsmanship – especially that of his native region. One Catalan speciality was wrought-iron work, and many of Gaudi’s most arresting creations are in this medium -often made by his own hand.
At the age of seventeen Gaudi went to Barcelona where, after five years of preparatory courses, he was admitted to the Provincial School of Architecture. Even as a student he showed signs of the eclecticism that he would later take to dizzying extremes. His project for the School’s entrance examination was a design for a lecture hall which had a domed ceiling under a stepped, gabled roof and whose walls were decorated with medieval-style tracery.
