Описание: Antoni Gaudi as one of the most radical architects of the late 19th century and a key figure in form finding and organic architecture. The lecture explains how Gaudi's work, rooted in Catalan Modernisme and closely linked to Art Nouveau, moved beyond surface ornamentation toward structural innovation inspired by nature. It examines his use of biomorphic, zoomorphic, and osteomorphic forms, trencadis mosaics, and craft-based integration of iron, stone, ceramics, wood, and glass. Through major works such as Casa Batlló, Casa Mila, Park Güell, and the Sagrada Família, the lecture demonstrates Gaudi's pioneering use of inverted catenary models, physical form-finding techniques, and early steel framing to generate structures working in pure compression. The session also connects Gaudi's methods to later developments in tensile structures, computational form finding, and contemporary architects such as Frei Otto and Santiago Calatrava, highlighting Gaudi's lasting influence on modern architectural thinking.
