An action that takes the context of the commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the death of Antoni Gaud\u00ed in 2026. For this date, it is planned to start the Gaud\u00ed Centenary 2026 program with activities related to heritage, art, culture and education to vindicate the work of Antoni Gaud\u00ed, with special emphasis on scientific knowledge of Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s contributions. &#8220;I think we are not asking for anything that is not deserved. It is our intention that this path that we begin today shows the great architect, artist and Christian that Gaud\u00ed was. Hopefully this light that we turn on today will be to put him in his rightful place,&#8221; said the director of the Gaud\u00ed Palace, V\u00edctor Murias, during his speech to the representatives of the other buildings on June 25.   <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6556 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.palaciodegaudi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Protocolo-UNESCO-Bellesguard-25-6-24-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Palacio de Gaudi\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"Palacio de Gaudi\"><\/p>\n<p>The Gaud\u00ed Chair of the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB) of the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya &#8211; BarcelonaTech (UPC) will act as a reference entity in documentation and academic research on Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s work for the working group, formed by the following entities: the Cabildo Catedral de Mallorca, which manages the Cathedral-Basilica of Santa Maria de Mallorca; the Fundaci\u00f3n Escuela Teresiana, manager of the Teresian School of Barcelona; Mucmo Gesti\u00f3n, managing entity of the Capricho de Gaud\u00ed de Comillas; the Diocese of Astorga, the entity that manages the Episcopal Palace of Gaud\u00ed in Astorga; FUNDOS, the entity that owns the Casa Botines Gaud\u00ed Museum in Le\u00f3n, and Grupo Catalana Occidente Activos Inmobiliarios, managers of the Bellesguard Tower in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>The chair will study the buildings for a second extension of World Heritage, UNESCO&#8217;s recognition of Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s creations promoted in 1984, which received a first extension in 2005.
