Description

From the imposing Sagrada Família to the dazzling, textile façade of Casa Batlló and the enchanting landscape of Park Güell, it is easy to understand why Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) earned the title of "God's architect." With fluid forms and mathematical precision, his work celebrates the wonder of natural creation: columns rise like tree trunks, window frames curve like blossoming branches, and ceramic tiles sparkle like reptile scales. With this exceptional attention to natural detail, influences from both Neo-Gothic and Oriental aesthetics, and a constant commitment to Catalan identity, Gaudí created a unique version of Modernism that transformed and defines the city of Barcelona. With seven of Gaudí's works registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this book introduces his extraordinary visionary ability and unique legacy, exploring the influences and details that allow his buildings to impress, inspire, and enchant, a century after their construction.
