Antonio Gaudi was a Catalan architect, who lived during the late 19th and early 10th centuries, and who revelled in his passions when creating buildings. His hand crafted structures which encompassed his love for architecture, nature, religion and his Catalonian heritage. The is a prime example; Gaudi has combined his love for building with an acute acknowledgement of proportion and aptitude for personal space, whilst simultaneously including nature in his work, as we can see through the dilating shapes skirting the roof of the structure. I choose this image to contrast with the Pompidou Centre specifically; whilst Gaudi’s work cannot be classed as exclusively modern, it is definitely of the time and relevant, and shows the ways in which buildings can be still be considered as important and stylish without having to include bold colours or crude design.
