Lluís Domènech i Montaner

Catalan architect (1850–1923)

Lluís Domènech i Montaner belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Lluís Domènech i Montaner as Catalan architect (1850–1923).

Lluís Domènech i Montaner was born at Barcelona in 1850. His recorded nationality is Spain. He was educated at University of Barcelona.

The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.

The record gives his occupations as architect, professor and politician.

His affiliations include University of Barcelona.

Among his principal works are Castle of the Three Dragons, Palau de la Música Catalana and Hospital de Sant Pau. Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.

That the work was done from Spain matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Lluís Domènech i Montaner died in 1923 at the age of 73. The work outlived the arguments around it.
