The article is devoted to the creativity of the prominent Catalan architect Antonio Gaudi y Cornet (1852–1926). The individual stories of his life largely determined his choice of future profession. The main stages are described for his professional education at the University and the Higher School of Architecture in Barcelona. Shown are his stylistic preferences in the world architecture and design, the specific features of his construction activities. Only the two most famous projects by Antonio Gaudi y Cornet on the urban development are considered. Their design is performed in the Catalanian art Nouveau (Modernisme) in combination with elements of bionic architecture. Among them is the Park Güell in Barcelona (1900–1914) and Colonia Güell Crypt, Santa Coloma de Cervelló (1898–1917.). The latter playes the role of scientific and experimental laboratory, in which Antonio Gaudi y Cornet searched for the original bionic forms and made constructive decisions, including the Cathedral of the Holy Family in Barcelona, which was his career.
