Antoni Gaudí was born in Reus in 1852 and received his Architectural degree in 1878. Gaudí adorned many of his buildings with coloured tiles arranged in mosaic patterns. This adds another important dimension to his buildings which is so often overlooked by architects – the use of colour.
The combination of original design, interesting shaped stonework, and vibrant colours in Gaudí’s work give the viewer a truly breathtaking visual experience. Gaudí’s constructions have an organic look to them. This basic concept of using nature as the primary influences for his creativity is reflected in the use of the natural curved construction stones, twisted iron sculptures, and organic-like shapes – all of which are characteristic traits of Gaudí’s architecture.La Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, and Parc Guell may be the most famous Gaudi Buildings in Barcelona, built by Gaudi in his unique style.
