The Vienna Center for Architecture has prepared an exhibition dedicated to Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) for October. The exhibition presents, among other things, the unusual methods and new solutions that the Spanish architect used to realize his visions.
The first part of the exhibition is dedicated to the life of the world-famous Catalan architect. The second part focuses on the most famous works such as Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, the Colònia Güell church, Park Güell, and Sagrada Família. The third part of the exhibition highlights the beginnings of Gaudí's work, which had a significant influence on the parabolic arch that Gaudí often employed. There is also a display of the studio and work huts that Gaudí had set up directly at the construction sites. He himself worked in them, creating models from plaster, wood, and clay. The final part of the exhibition features, among other things, furniture design and other creations.
