The life of Antoni Gaud (18521926) was full of complexity and contradictions. As a young man he joined the Catalonian nationalist movement and was critical of the church; toward the end of his life he devoted himself completely to the construction of one single spectacular church, La Sagrada Familia. In his youth, he courted a glamorous social life and the demeanor of a dandy. By the time of his death in a tram accident on the streets of Barcelona his clothes were so shabby passersby assumed he was a beggar.Gauds incomparable architecture channels much of this multifaceted intricacy. From the shimmering textures and skeletal forms of Casa Batll to the HispanoArabic matrix of Casa Vicens, his work merged the influences of Orientalism, natural forms, new materials, and religious faith into a unique Modernista aesthetic. Today, his unique aesthetic enjoys global popularity and acclaim. His magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia, is the mostvisited monument in Spain, and seven of his works are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Through brandnew photography, plans and drawings by Gaud himself, historical photos, as well as an appendix detailing all his worksfrom buildings to furniture, decor to unfinished projectsthis book presents Gauds universe like never before. Like a personal tour through Barcelona, we discover how the Dante of architecture was a builder in the truest sense of the word, crafting extraordinary constructions out of minute and mesmerizing details, and transforming fantastical visions into realities on the city streets.
