Why is Gaudí said to be an architectural wizard?

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet (Catalan: Antoni Gaudí i Cornet, June 25, 1852 - June 10, 1926), Spanish "Catalonia" Catalan Modernisme (Catalan Modernisme, Art Nouveau) architect and one of the representative figures of the Art Nouveau movement.

Gaudi was born in Reus and was a blacksmith making boilers for generations, so he was born with good spatial deconstruction ability and sculptural sense; he also suffered from rheumatism as a child and could not play with other children. He can only observe nature keenly, so that he can become an architect who imitates nature in the future. Gaudí discovered from observation that there are no pure straight lines in nature. He once said: "Straight lines belong to humans, curves belong to God." Therefore, throughout his life, Gaudí tried his best to pursue nature in his designs. There are almost no straight lines in the works, and most of them use vital curves and organic objects to form a building.

He is the youngest of five brothers. He was encouraged by his father to study architecture in Barcelona. In 1878, tile merchant Manuel Vicens commissioned Gaudí to design a summer residence called Casa Vicens, and Gaudí began his design career. However, the Vicens House is not Gaudi's most classic work. Gaudi gradually established his own unique architectural style in his next few works. In 1878, Gaudí also met his most important patron, the illustrious Mr. Eusebi Güell. Mr. Güell was amazed by Gaudí’s genius and commissioned Gaudí to design tombs, palaces, mansions, Pavilions, etc., enabled Gaudí to express himself fully and freely and develop his talents. In addition to expressing a strong personal style, many of Gaudí's works also provided a lot of nutrients for future modern design and even post-modern architectural design.

Gaudi was never married and had no other hobbies or needs except work. The Sagrada Familia was his greatest work. He dedicated 43 years of his life there and even moved there in 1925. He went to live at the church construction site and studied the structural design of the church wholeheartedly. On the afternoon of June 7, 1926, Gaudí finished his work for the day and went from Sagrada Familia to the church in the city center to worship. He was hit by a tram. His clothes were shabby, and passers-by thought he was a homeless man, so they sent him to Holy Cross Hospital. He died three days later. Only then did everyone discover that the homeless man was actually Gaudí. A grand funeral was held for him, and the funeral procession continued from Holy Cross Hospital. It slowly extended to the Sagrada Familia and he was buried under the unfinished Sagrada Familia.
