A member of the Art Nouveau movement, he frequently experimented with hyperboloids and paraboloids to mimic natural shapes. His first major work was a Moorish-inspired residence, with elements such as the checkerboard pattern of tiles and bricks running around the top floor, which he designed for the industrialist Manuel Vicens. One of his works, known to locals as the "the quarry", was built for a married couple in Eixample district. Another was a town mansion, or if translated literally a "palace," created for a rich Catalan tycoon. Many of his works, like Casa Mila and Park Güell, have been designated as World Heritage sites by UNESCO.
