OverviewIn Gaudí's work he always considered colour to be crucial and whether he was using pure (solid colours) or iridescent shades (colours that change with movement) he believed it to be a necessary as the durability and quality of the actual building. He was both admired and criticized for thinking this. Gaudí also would accompany the absence of symmetry in his works, making it deceiving to the eye. This all became his own style of design impressing people and creating arguments to whether his architecture was physically possible.

Idea GenerationWhen Gaudí designed his works (particularly furniture) he would consider who would use it and the adaptability of bones so that it was shaped for the position the person was when using the design (Ergonomic Design)

SketchesA designer will present their ideas through illustration. This is by sketching what they want their product to look like. Gaudí drew sketches to demonstrate the basic outline of his architecture and furniture. However even though Gaudí did draw sketches he much rather construct a 3D model out of plaster or clay.

ModelsDesigners make models so they have the ability to see all dimensions of their design without actually building it yet. This also gives the designer an opportunity to improve their design. Gaudí would make models before designing as it gave him the flexibility to play around and mold the shape of his design. Usually this is how many of his buildings came to life, all starting with a 3D model.

Finished DesignOf course after the process of designing has completed the designer will have a finished product or will start construction of the final design. When Gaudí completed his design and had approval he would commence the establishment of his architecture.
