Architectural Works of Antoni Gaudí

Architectural Works of Antoni Gaudí

Due to diverse cultural influences, the architectural works of Antoni Gaudí exhibit highly varied styles. The creations of architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926)—including Park Güell, Palau Güell, and Casa Milà in Barcelona—demonstrate a synthesis of traditional and individualistic architectural elements, giving rise to a unique new style.

These are regarded not only as innovations in architectural style but also in garden design, sculpture, and all decorative arts. Palau Güell, built in 1889, is an elegant and distinctive structure designed by Gaudí specifically for his patron, the Güell family of Barcelona. The fantastical Park Güell, constructed starting in 1900 on a hillside, offers panoramic views of Barcelona and the vast Mediterranean Sea. Casa Milà, completed in 1910, is a five-story apartment building commissioned by industrialist Pere Milà. Its undulating, wave-like façade is a masterpiece of ingenious design.
