Summary:

"The work of Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926) defines the city of Barcelona like no other. Its art-nouveau-style spires and visionary eccentricities bestow their unique character on the skyline and make the city a point of pilgrimage for fans of Gaudi's inimitable, playful style. Gaudi of Barcelona presents the architect's work in Barcelona as it has never been seen before. Vibrant, specially commissioned photographs present the wonders of the Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, and 10 other fantastic creations in Gaudi's home city in unprecedented detail." "Tiled landscape architecture in brilliant colors, organic, plantlike pinnacles and towers, undulating tiled roofs with chimneys and ventilators looming like alien creatures atop seething buildings - these are the features that distinguish the work of Gaudi and speak of his curious relationship with his city. The text investigates this aspect of Gaudi's work, discussing the architect's life and influences, his status as an outsider ahead of his time, and his leading place in Catalan modernism."--Jacket.
