¡Hola!

Antoni Gaudí was born into a humble family of coppersmiths in Reus. His time in the family workshop honed his ability to handle space and volume, learning from a young age that straight shapes could be molded into curved forms. His father, a controller of market prices, endowed him with a knowledge of mathematics from an early age.

This experience, combined with long periods in the countryside (Gaudí was a sickly child who had to live away for many years of his life), deeply influenced his architectural vision, leading him to seek inspiration in nature and to respect its patterns and laws in his work. Gaudí considered nature his teacher and source of knowledge, aspiring for his architecture to emulate its beauty, sustainability, and efficiency.

It was about not copying nature, but following its pattern through a process of cooperation and, in this context, making his architecture as beautiful, sustainable, and effective as possible. For this reason, Gaudí stated: "Originality consists in returning to the origin."

Through our Gaudí Fund, we are currently delving into the traits and experiences that define geniality, and how we can enhance it, mainly through the use of graphopsychology, analyzing the writings that Gaudí left us.

Stay tuned to our posts to learn more about the traits that define genius!
