　 　 Gaudí's first works were designed in the style of gothic and traditional Spanish architectural modes, but he soon developed his own distinct sculptural style. French architect Eugene Viollet-le-Duc, who promoted an evolved form of gothic architecture, proved a major influence on Gaudí. But the student surpassed the master architect and contrived highly original designs – irregular and fantastically intricate. Some of his greatest works, most notably La Sagrada Família, have an almost hallucinatory power.

Artistic Style He integrated the parabolic arch and hyperboloid structures, nature's organic shapes, and the fluidity of water into his architecture. While designing buildings, he observed the forces of gravity and related catenary principles. (Gaudí designed many of his arches upside down by hanging various weights on interconnected strings, using gravity to calculate catenaries for a natural curved arch.)

On June 8, 1926, Antoni Gaudí was run over by a tram. Because of his ragged attire and empty pockets, multiple cab drivers refused to pick him up for fear that he would be unable to pay the fare.He died two days later on June 10, 1926, half of Barcelona mourning his death. It was, perhaps, fitting that he was buried in the midst of his unfinished masterpiece, La Sagrada Família. 1878–1879: Lampposts for the Plaça Real at Barcelona 1878: Showcase for glove manufacturer Comella. Via this work, used 　　　at the World's Fair in Paris, Eusebi Güell came to know the architect. 1883–1885: Casa Vicens 1884–1891: Completion of the crypt of the Sagrada Familia 　　(the crypt had been started by the architect Francisco del Villar in 1882, 　　who had to abandon the project in 1883); 1886–1889: Palau Güell
