The Year of Gaudí has begun. The dozens of institutions and organizations that manage Antoni Gaudí's works throughout Spain have joined forces to commemorate the centenary of the architect's death (1852-1926). The Catalan government has promoted the official commemoration and allocated an extraordinary budget of 6.5 million euros. The Ministry of Culture has also declared it a Special Event of Public Interest. The objective of the Year of Gaudí, curated by architect Galdric Santana, director of the Gaudí Chair at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, is not so much to project to the world a legacy that is already widely recognized and visited—the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell alone receive 10 million visitors a year—but rather to offer a new perspective and a fresh look at everything.
