This is Gaudi

Antoni Gaud-as a reputation as monastic, mad and hermetic. But the architect of many of the buildings that define Barcelona-s cityscape was no mad eccentric. He was a genius inspired by his faith in nature and the divine. Picking up the same strands of eclecticism and art nouveau current in fin de si-e European architecture, he transformed them into an idiom unique to himself and Barcelona to create a series of buildings as revolutionary in their engineering as they were astonishing for their spaces.For Gaud-is work was his life, and this book reveals the exuberant world and groundbreaking work of this unique figure in the history of modern architecture.
