GaudĆ
From the imposing Sagrada Familia to the gleaming textured faƧade of Casa BatllĆ³ and the enchanting landscape of Park Güell, it's easy to see why Antoni GaudĆ (1852-1926) earned the epithet "God's architect".
With fluid forms and mathematical precision, his work extols the wonder of natural creation: columns rise like tree trunks, window frames curve like blossoming branches and ceramic tiles glisten like the scaly skin of a reptile.
With this extraordinary attention to natural detail, his inspirations from neo-Gothic and Orientalist aesthetics, and a lifelong commitment to Catalan identity, GaudĆ created a unique brand of the modernist movement that transformed, and defines, Barcelona's urban landscape.
With seven of GaudĆ's projects declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this book presents the architect's extraordinary vision and unique legacy, exploring the influences and details that allow his buildings to impress, inspire and surprise, a century after they were built.
