Gaudí

From the imposing Sagrada Familia to the gleaming textured façade of Casa Batlló and the enchanting landscape of Park Güell, it's easy to see why Antoni Gaudí (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, Gaudí created a unique brand of the modernist movement that transformed, and defines, Barcelona's urban landscape.

With seven of Gaudí'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 their construction.
