He arrived at the beginning of the Art Nouveau period, just as Barcelona got its distinctive look. Although Gaud\u00ed is the most recognized name of Barcelona architecture of that era, Dom\u00e8nich i Montaner was equally as prolific &amp; Garc\u00eda N\u00fa\u00f1ez fortunately had him as a professor.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Returning to Buenos Aires around 1905, Garc\u00eda N\u00fa\u00f1ez brought with him a touch of Barcelona to the growing metropolis of Buenos Aires. He wasn\u2019t shy about promoting himself &amp; was awarded with important contracts for the immigrant Spanish community, most notably the Hospital Espa\u00f1ol (now 80% demolished). For Argentina\u2019s centennial celebrations in 1910, GN built the Spanish Pavilion &amp; his designs were increasingly in demand.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">But when Art Nouveau fell out of fashion in Buenos Aires &amp; gave way to Art Deco, Garc\u00eda N\u00fa\u00f1ez abruptly stopped practicing his profession. Only a few works date after 1915, &amp; apparently he destroyed all his plans &amp; awards. Surviving family members recall GN having a rather stern character, but we\u2019ll never know why he abandoned everything &amp; faded into obscurity.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The buildings by Garc\u00eda N\u00fa\u00f1ez in Buenos Aires which have not been demolished or modified remain as striking today as when they were built.
