http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoni_Gaud%C3%AD Antoni Gaudí i Cornet ( Catalan pronunciation: [ənˈtɔni ɣəwˈði] ; 25 June 1852–10 June 1926) was a Spanish Catalan architect and figurehead of Catalan Modernism . Gaudí's works reflect his highly individual and distinctive style and are largely concentrated in the Catalan capital of Barcelona , notably his magnum opus , the Sagrada Família . Much of Gaudí's work was marked by his big passions in life: architecture , nature, religion. [ 3 ] Gaudí studied every detail of his creations, integrating into his architecture a series of crafts in which he was skilled: ceramics , stained glass , wrought ironwork forging and carpentry .
