About Casa Batlló

Casa Batlló is one of Gaudí’s many masterpieces in Barcelona. It was originally commissioned by Jospeh Batlló, who gave Gaudi full creative freedom on his own house.

The architect completely changed the façade, redistributing the internal partitioning, expanding the patio of lights and converting the inside into a true work of art.

As well as its artistic value, the building is also extremely functional, and much more characteristic of modern times than of the past.

About Antoni Gaudí, the architect

Antoni Gaudí was the architect of Casa Batllo and his buildings all have a distinctive style is characterized by freedom of form, voluptuous colour and texture, and organic unity. Gaudí’s work was influenced by his passions in life: architecture, nature, and religion. His exceptional ground-breaking work made him the inventor of a unique, personal and incomparable architectural language that defies classification.

This workshop is an opportunity to appreciate the genius of Gaudi while learning and expressing his work through Ian’s distinct style.
