Aerial view towards La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, Spain. Gaudí was run down by a tram on 7 June 1926, and died of his wounds on 10 June. He is buried in Sagrada Familia. After his death, Gaudí's works suffered a period of neglect and were largely unpopular among international critics, who regarded them as baroque and excessively imaginative.
He first met Gaudí in 1914 when he was still a student. When Gaudí died in 1926, he was working on the Sagrada Família with Domènec Sugrañes i Gras. In 1950, Boada was assigned director of this construction. In 1929, Boada published El temple de la Sagrada Família, and in 1976 L'església de la Colònia Güell.
Since then, Gaudí lived there alone until the end of 1925, when, a few months before his death in 1926, moved to the workshop of the Sagrada Família Basilica. In his will, the architect donated the house to the Foundation Board of La Sagrada Família, which sold it to the Chiappo Arietti couple.
