Antoni Gaudí

Gaudí spent his entire career in Barcelona, where he built all of his projects,
the most famous of which is the 1883 cathedral known as La Sagrada Familia,
still under construction today. His style was an ornate mix of Baroque, Gothic,
Moorish and Victorian elements that often featured ornamental tile-work,
and drew upon forms found in nature—an influence that can he seen in the
tree-like columns holding up the vast interior of his church, as well as the
undulating facade of another of his famous creations, the apartment block
known as the Casa Milla (inspired by the multi-peaked mountain just outside
of Barcelona called Montserrat). Gaudí’s work would go on to have a
tremendous impact on subsequent generations of modernists.

Frank Lloyd Wright
A Wisconsin native, Wright revolutionize 20th-century architect, and his
midwestern upbringing played a crucial role in shaping his sensibility.
Inspired by the low-lying building that dotted the American plains, Wright
created the Prairie House style as a reaction the prevailing Victorian
aesthetic, which emphasized dark decor, and busy embellishments both
inside and out. In its stead, Wright employed clean geometries with an
emphasis on horizontal planes. His most famous building, Falling Water (a
residence in Bear Run, PA, designed for Pittsburg department store
magnate, Edgar Kaufmann in 1935) features stacked rectangular balconies
that seem to float over the natural waterfall incorporated into the house.
Later in his career, Wright would embrace curvilinear elements, a shift that
found its most celebrated expression in the Solomon R. Guggenheim
Museum.

Opened six months after Frank Lloyd Wright died in 1959, the Guggenheim met with the kind of criticisms
that one might imagine the architect would delight in hearing: that this incredible building was so striking,
it would overshadow the art within. The apex of Wright’s cylindrical and circular style, this cultural center,
a ribbon of concrete on the Upper East Side, descended from an earlier design for the Gordon Strong
Automobile Objective and Planetarium. The open atrium and curved, spiraling floorplan created a unique
viewing experience, with patrons slowly ascending toward the top of the architectural nautilus shell.

 Mies Van der Rohe
Famously holding to the proposition that “less is more,” German architect Mies Van
der Rohe stripped architecture to elemental geometric forms, pointing the way to
Minimalism. He banished all traces of ornamentation, using the innate qualities of
materials such as steel and plate glass to define the look of his buildings. This
approach came out of another credo—form equals function—espoused at the
Dessau Bauhaus, for which he served as the last director before the Nazis closed it
down. His designs emphasized rationalism and efficiency as the route to beauty, an
approached exemplified by The Barcelona Pavilion, built to house Germany’s exhibit
for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. In it, you can see that while Mies
(the name by which he’s best known) abjured decorative details, he wasn’t adverse
opulence, as the liberal use of marble, red onyx and travertine in the structure
attests. The resulting masterpiece is only matched, perhaps, by Mies’s Seagram’s
tower in New York.
