Why Is Josep Lluís Sert Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Josep Lluís Sert i López was a Spanish architect and city planner. Biography Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, Sert showed keen interest in the works of his uncle, the painter Josep Maria Sert, and of Antoni Gaudí. He studied architecture at the Escola Superior d'Arquitectura in Barcelona and set up his own studio in 1929. That same year Sert moved to Paris, in response to an invitation from Le Corbusier to work for him . Returning to Barcelona in 1930, he continued his practice there until 1937. During the 1930s, Sert co-founded the group GATCPAC , which later was the prominent association, with the addition of the western and north groups, of the GATEPAC , which was in turn the Spanish branch of the Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne . Sometime later, Sert became President of CIAM . He created several outstanding pieces of modern architecture during this period, such as the week-end house in El Garraf, Catalonia , the Central Dispensary of Barcelona and the Master Plan for the City of Barcelona . From 1937 through 1939, Sert lived in Paris, where he designed the Spanish Republic's pavilion at the World's Fair, the Paris Exposition of 1937. For the artistic content of the building, Sert called on his Spanish artist friends Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Alexander Calder; Picasso's contribution was Guernica, which became the focal attraction of Sert's design.
