Antoni Gaudí stierf in 1926 maar zijn architectuur was voor de toekomst bedoeld. Pas nu begrijpt men welke grandioze, architectonische visioenen Gaudí probeerde te verwerkelijken. Dit boek van Rainer Zerbst presenteert Gaudí's meest opmerkelijke bouwwerken van de Casa Vicens tot de bekroning van zijn levenswerk, de Sagrada Familia, in fascinerende kleurenfoto's.

The complete works. In light of the growing and general recognition of Gaud work, 150 years after his birth, Gaud did not become a success as a result of the quantity of works completed; Gaud secret was probably knowing how to tackle architectural creation in a distinct manner, without artistic or technical prejudices. His knowledge of the trades and the procedures of construction permitted him to stand out in his era. He was a virile and overwhelming individual, capable of breaking tradition, with fidelity to historic styles and the determination to please the euphoric bourgeoisie of the 1900s. He replanted the essence of architecture and reconsidered tastes and materials, procedures, techniques, systems of calculation, geometric repertoires.

This high-quality jubilee edition presents the complete work of Antoni Gaudi in a single volume, including his interior designs. Superb photographs by specialists in architectural photography and a foreword is by Daniel Giralet-Miracle, General Commissioner of the International Gaudi Year 2003, make this the perfect gift for lovers of architecture, art, and design. The book also offers information on the hours of Gaudi buildings and exhibitions open to the public.
