What is the full name of the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí?

The full name of the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí is Antoni Gaudí i Cornet. The name identifies the architect commonly known simply as Gaudí, whose work transformed Barcelona’s architectural identity.

Gaudí was born in Catalonia in 1852 and became the leading figure of Catalan Modernisme, the region’s distinctive form of Art Nouveau. His designs drew heavily on nature, religion, geometry, and traditional craft. He integrated ceramics, stained glass, wrought iron, stonework, and carpentry into unified architectural compositions.

People sometimes shorten his name to “Antoni Gaudí” or write it without the Catalan accent, but “Gaudí i Cornet” is the standard extended name used in biographies. His birthplace is also debated: records generally identify Reus, while Gaudí himself associated his origins with nearby Riudoms. His best-known works include Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Batlló, and Casa Milà.
