Antonio Gaudi (1852-1926) is one of the most admired architects of
the twentieth century. Even today, some seventy-five years after
Gaudi's death, his fanciful, exuberant buildings define Barcelona's
cityscape and continue to influence architects, sculptors, and
designers. Perhaps best known for the dynamic, sculptural facades,
found on such buildings as the church of the Sagrada Familia and
Casa Mila, Gaudi is as much respected as a technological innovator
as a daring stylist.
In this enlightening volume, a concise, knowledgeable text by the
director of the Royal Gaudi Chair at the Polytechnical University
of Catalonia (Barcelona) combines with striking images by a
well-known architectural photographer to provide a new perspective
on Gaudi's remarkable career. The text covers the full range of his
oeuvre, describing early assignments in the 1870s as a draftsman
for leading architects in Barcelona, the innovative buildings he
created for the Guell Palace and Estate, daring new structural
solutions at Bellesguard, architecture inspired by nature at the
Casa Calvet and in the Park Guell, and the construction of his
unfinished masterpiece, the Church of the Sagrada Familia, which
occupied him until his death. The author traces all the influences
that led to his definitive style, from his fascination with the
Orient and neogothicism to his affinity for naturalism and specific
geometric forms.
Brilliantly illustrated, this incisive overview of Gaudí's
visionary work is ideal for those who delight in his architecture
as well as those who look forward to traveling to Spain to see his
monumental legacy.
