Gaudi was born June 25, 1852 in the small town of Reus. Painful suffering from rheumatism child, he was deprived of contact with peers. Antonio could spend hours at the sea, like long walks alone. Hence his observation, a love of nature and the sand castles that remind all of its buildings.
Sense of space came to him, in his own words, in his father's workshop - the master boiler affairs.
In 1878, the architect Gaudi has left school. As a student, he was inspired ideas Gothic Revival, who carried a French architect and writer, Viollet-le-Duc (the largest in the XIX century. Restorer of Gothic cathedrals, to restore the Cathedral of Notre Dame) and English art critic John Ruskin. The motto of the masters: "Decorative - the beginning of architecture" completely coincided with feelings of Gaudi.
A life-changing event in his life was the meeting with the industrialist and philanthropist, the richest man in Barcelona Eusebi Guell. Later, they will become great friends. Gaudi - eager to create and Guell - able to carry out his most experienced hikers not fantasy.
Gaudi's Guell and implemented several projects that have brought glory to the architect.Orders fell one after the other. Customers are willing to throw out the construction polsostoyaniya, initially believed the genius architect, paving the way to a new architecture.
June 7, 1926 Gaudí left the house in the direction of the church of Sant Felip Neri.Between the streets between the streets of Girona and the architect Bailen knocked tram (they say it was the first streetcar running in Barcelona). Gaudi lost consciousness.Passers-by did not attach much importance, and refused to take a cab to the hospital unknown ragged old man with no money and documents.
Gaudi is still taken to the hospital, but for the poor. Recognize the old man wounded in the Gaudi could until the next day, but by the time help was impossible.
June 10, 1926 the most unusual architect of the world has passed away. Two days later, he was buried in the crypt of the unfinished cathedral them.
In Birthday Spanish architect "Evening Moscow" presents five of the most famous works of Antonio Gaudi in Barcelona.
Vicens House (Casa Vicens)
The building was built in the years 1883-1885 in Barcelona. The first great work of Antonio Gaudi. The project was in the hands of the architect, when he had just graduated.
The house is built in the style of modernism. Whereas, while in Spain there was a fashion for eclecticism. Thus, the structure of Gaudi strongly contrasted with the other buildings of the time.
The house is built of rough stone and colored tiles arranged in a checkerboard pattern with floral ornaments. On the facade of the house used a number of different decorative elements such as turrets, bay windows, balconies, ledges facades. As planned by the architect, next to the house was planted garden and a fountain with a cascade.
Eventually, in connection with the extension of the street, garden, part of the fence, the rotunda and fountain have been lost.
Currently, the house is private property, so can not visit the building. But there is an exception. May 22, one day a year, on the day of St. Rita's house is open to "neighbors and city residents."
In 2005, the house Vicens included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Guell Park (Parc Güell)

Catalan industrialist Eusebi Guell in Barcelona decided to build a fashionable at that time in Europe, the garden city. For its project businessman has bought 15 hectares of land.In the same year, and the construction, which lasted 13 years.
During this time, the park, a host of fabulous houses, fountains and quaint shops. One of these benches - a long bench, curved in the shape of a sea serpent. Design bench was designed by Gaudi, along with one of his students Josep Maria Zhuzholem. It should be noted that the bench has an unusual shape - the relief of the shop completely coincides with the outline of a seated human body.
In addition, the park is located Gaudi House Museum. It was opened in his former mansion in 1963, the Society of Friends of the architect and contains pieces of furniture created by Gaudi, in particular, the furniture of the house Batllo and La Pedrera.
At 1984 Park Guell is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Casa Batllo (Casa Batllo)

The project was commissioned by the textile magnate Josep Batllo-and-Kasanovas.Antoni Gaudi was a task to rebuild the house in 1875 because of the demolition of the building deliberately refused. The first thing Gaudi has attached to the house two new facade.
Perhaps it was the only outward change in architecture. In the internal structure of the house Gaudi was merciless. The building was completely rebuilt. It is here that the architect for the first time "began to play with the light" - he rebuilt the room in a way that would have been covered as in the daytime, but also pays attention to the play of light and shadow.
In addition, the design of the house is almost completely absent straight lines. One example of this - parabolic arches, wavy smoke and ventilation pipes.
Researchers believe the architect of creativity: with this project Gaudi architectural solutions will be dictated solely by his own vision of the plastic without regard to the well-known architectural styles.
In 2005, the house Vicens included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
La Pedrera (Casa Mila)

House built by Antonio Gaudi in the years 1906-1910 for the family Mila. When designing a home architect very well thought out system of natural ventilation of the building so that the owners could easily give up the air conditioning. Interior walls can be moved to your liking. The house was even built an underground garage. Projects have also been provided for elevators, however, they are in the house appeared much later.
The building itself - reinforced concrete structure without carrying and retaining walls.Front of the house is decorated with wrought-iron lattice balconies. All the windows in the rooms of the home went out. Workers - the courtyard.
One of the apartments of the house is currently on display to visitors during the tour.Some apartments living, and part is occupied by offices.

Sagrada Familia - the redemptive Sagrada Familia (Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família)
Author: www.sxc.hu
The largest project of Antonio Gaudi, which is still not finished. The first stone of the church was laid on 19 March 1882. The first architect of the church was Francesco del Villar. He was planning to build a church in the Gothic Revival style. For a year he managed to build only the crypt under the apse. A year later, the project passed Gaudi.Architect hated Gothic.
He said that the Gothic - "dead system". Thus conceived Villar pointed arches are parabolas, the column was similar to the branching trees. The main doors Passion facade reproduce words from the Bible in different languages.
The architecture of the building used by many characters. For example, over the building of the cathedral in the future soar 18 towers. 12 of them represent the apostles, 4 higher - the four evangelists, the highest - Jesus Christ.
Creating a project Gaudi thought of everything. A few years architect devoted only to the study of acoustics in order to create a better system of bells, which should be driven by the wind.
Gaudí devoted himself entirely to the construction of the temple - he lived on the site.Inside the temple, there is a museum which exhibits drawings and models made by Gaudi.
Temple of the Holy Family and to this day is surrounded by scaffolding, according to the Spanish government, will be able to completely finish the cathedral or after 2026.
November 7, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the Sagrada Familia church, thus recognizing him fit to perform religious services.
