Life Story

The son of a coppersmith, Antoni Gaudí was born on

June 25, 1852, and took to architecture at a young age.
D He attended school in Barcelona, the city that would
become home to most of his great works. Gaudí was
–
part of the Catalan Modernista movement, eventually
J transcending it with his nature-based organic style.
Gaudí died on June 10, 1926, in Barcelona, Spain.

Architect Antoni Gaudí was born in Catalonia on the

Mediterranean coast of Spain on June 25, 1852. He
showed an early interest in architecture, and went to
study in Barcelona—Spain's most modern city at the
time—circa 1870. After his studies were interrupted by
K military service, Gaudí graduated from the Provincial
– School of Architecture in 1878.

C About the Structure

When the foundation stone of the Basílica i Temple

Expiatori de la Sagrada Família was laid in 1882, it’s
unlikely that anyone involved anticipated that the
D
construction of this church would take well over a
– century to complete. But when Catalan architect Antoni
J Gaudí, now famous for his unique take on
the Modernista movement, took charge of the project a
year later, he scrapped the original neo-Gothic design
plans and exchanged them for a grander vision, unlike
any the world had ever seen.

Gaudí worked steadily on his masterpiece until his death

in 1926, at which point an estimated 15 to 25 percent of
K
the total design, including the crypt, the apse walls, a
– portal, and a tower, was complete. Since then a series
P of architects have attempted to continue his legacy. Not
surprisingly, progress on Sagrada Família’s construction
has faced a few setbacks over the past 130+ years.
