Antoni Gaudí has a reputation as monastic, mad, and hermetic. But the architect of many of the buildings that define Barcelona's cityscape was no mad eccentric. He was a genius inspired by his faith in nature and the divine.
Picking up the same strands of eclecticism and art nouveau current in fin de siècle European architecture, he transformed them into an idiom unique to himself and Barcelona to create a series of buildings as revolutionary in their engineering as they were astonishing for their spaces.
For Gaudí his work was his life, and this book reveals the exuberant world and groundbreaking work of this unique figure in the history of modern architecture.

Reviewed in Canada on November 14, 2017
I thought Gaudi was a fascinating individual, and can't say I agree with all his life decisions, but he had his ideas and worked with them to the fullest he could. His faith was important to him and he weaved it into his work to the best of his ability. I found the font small, which just meant closer up reading for my tired, older eyes. :) I don't see it being an issue for younger students though. It's written at a level I'd say for middle school and up. It would be an interesting book to give to a highschool student and ask the question "How do you think you could interpose your faith into your work life? What do you think of how Gaudi did it?"
