Antoni Gaudi was a Spanish architect from Barcelona known for his unique modernist style. He is most famous for his unfinished Sagrada Familia basilica, to which he dedicated over 40 years of work. Gaudi's highly original style fused Gothic, Moorish, and organic influences. Almost all of Gaudi's work was completed in Barcelona, where he helped spark the Catalan modernism movement and expressed Catalan nationalism through his architecture. He died in 1926 while still working on the Sagrada Familia.

19 La Sagrada Familia Gaudi dedicated more than forty years of his life as an architect to the Neo-Gothic unfinished cathedral He transformed the original design into a fantastical, soaring work that incorporates Gothic, Moorish, African, and purely imaginative influences into its structure Despite controversy over whether the cathedral should remain in its uncompleted form as a monument to the architect, construction began again in 1979, closely following Gaud鱈s original plan The temple has a basilical floor-plan, with five naves and three transepts. The interior is 90m long and the transept 60m wide; the central nave measures 15m

21 Conclusion Gaudi was totally dedicated to architecture; his personal and professional lives were one Influenced by Violet-Le-Duc and Ruskin, he was one of the basic architects of Art Nouveau, where he is classified After some years of criticism generated by the "Noucentisme" (artistic way opposed to Art Nouveau developed in Catalonia between 1910 and 1936), by the 1960s, he came to be revered by professionals and laymen alike for his boundless and tenacious imagination Today the prestige of Gaud鱈 is a fact accepted all around the world by specialists and people
