Omschrijving
Antoni Gaudí merged Orientalism, natural forms, and new materials into a unique Modernista aesthetic that put Barcelona on the global architecture map. With brand-new photography, plans and drawings by Gaudí himself, as well as an extensive appendix of all his works including furniture and unfinished projects, this XL book takes us through the Catalonian’s fantastical universe like never before.
“A personal tour through the shimmering streets of Barcelona.”
“This book shows us the Catalan architect’s universe as never before.”
“There is probably no better way to enter the mind of Gaudí than through this book.”
“From Barcelona to beyond, TASCHEN’s Gaudí. The Complete Works is a must-have for anyone who has ever admired the fanciful work of this Catalan great.”
“A beautifully assembled book, allowing the reader to access the dramatic spaces, textures, colours and moods of Gaudí’s work.”
