Antonio Gaudi's Architecture to The culture of Barcelona

Artists can influence the culture through their music, paintings, sculptures, and architecture The culture of Barcelona in the aspects of its extraordinary architecture is attributed to Antoni Gaudí masterpieces. The Catalan Modernism so important to the cultural identity of Barcelona finds perhaps its greatest expression in the works of Gaudi. Gaudí's work is admired by architects around the World as being one of the most unique and distinctive architectural styles. His work has greatly influenced the face of Barcelona.

Gaudí's creative style

Gaudí's creative genius—and the curves, shapes, and ornamentations it produced—literally changed the face of architecture and building technology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Gaudí recognized the formal order inherent in most architecture before his time—and deliberately turned it upside down. As a result his buildings seem strikingly unique and almost surreal even after a century.

La Sagrada Familia

This enormous church, as yet unfinished, is a summary of everything that Gaudí designed before. The structural difficulties he faced and errors he committed in other projects are revisited and resolved in Sagrada Familia.

Park Güell

Park Güell is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of El Carmel in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. Park Guell is one of the most impressive public parks in the world.

Casa Balto

The Casa Batlló is a renovation, not an original construction, yet one accomplished with such style and skill that it has become one of Gaudí's best known projects. Notable here is how the shapely, strange building was washed in color with an extensive facade of ceramics and mosaics.
