From the towering Sagrada FamĂlia to the shimmering, textured façade of Casa BatllĂł and the enchanting landscape of Park GĂĽell, it’s easy to see why Antoni GaudĂ (1852–1926) gained the epithet “God’s architect.” With fluid forms and mathematical precision, his work extols the wonder of natural creation: columns soar like tree trunks, window frames curve like flowering branches, and ceramic tiling shimmers like scaly, reptilian skin.
With this outstanding attention to natural detail, his inspirations from both neo-Gothic and Orientalist aesthetics, and a lifelong commitment to Catalan identity, Gaudà created a unique brand of the Modernista movement which transformed, and defines, Barcelona’s cityscape.
With seven of GaudĂ’s projects listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this book introduces the architect’s extraordinary vision and unique legacy, exploring the influences and the details which allow his buildings to impress, inspire, and amaze, one century after their construction.
