$41.95
(available to order)
Summary:
Images of ruins may represent the raw realities created by bombs, natural disasters, or factory closings, but the way we see and understand ruins is not raw or unmediated.

This unique interdisciplinary collection traces discourses about and representations of ruins from a richly contextualized perspective.

Summary:
With nearly 150 color reproductions, this volume offers a new standard overview of Gaudi's extraordinary career. Luis Permanyer places the architect's oeuvre within the context of Catalan and wider European developments of the time, but he also describes the more personal mystical impetus that lay at the core of Gaudi's inventions. For those already familiar with the architect's work, Melba Levick's superb and detail photographs will prove a revelation; for those just discovering Gaudi, this book is the next best thing to experiencing the buildings themselves.
