A century after Antoni Gaudí walked Barcelona's streets, the city honors his memory not with a monument to the past but with a building still reaching skyward and a biography still finding new words for what he was. Gaudí remains one of those rare figures who defies the tidiness of historical placement — a medieval mystic who intuited structural mathematics that computers would later confirm, a man of faith who built in the language of the future. His centenary is less a commemoration than a reminder that some legacies refuse to be sealed.
