Antoni Gaudi was an important architect who worked mostly in Barcelona, Spain. What sets him apart from other architects is his very distinct style, which is closely related to his Roman Catholic beliefs, nature, and inspired by earlier Gothic and Islamic architecture combined with Art Nouveau. Also setting Gaudi apart was his willingness to use recycled materials such as broken glass and ceramics.
For this discussion, take a look at some of Gaudi's work and pay attention to the kinds of materials, forms, textures, and colors he uses and assess how his work relates to the negative space sculpture you've been working on in class. One question to consider might be: how might his decisions with form influence the kinds of materials he uses?
