A century after Antoni Gaudí was struck down by a streetcar in Barcelona, the world pauses to reckon with a man who saw architecture not as the imposition of human will upon material, but as a conversation with the deeper logic of living things. His buildings — rooted in the spiral of shells, the branching of trees, the tensile wisdom of webs — anticipated by decades what sustainability and biomimicry now struggle to articulate. Spain's commemorations are less an act of mourning than a recognition that Gaudí did not leave the future behind; the future is still catching up to him.
