Antonio
Gaudi : Master Architect
by Juan Bassegoda Nonell, et al
Book Description: Antonio Gaudà (1852-1926) is one
of the best-known architects of the 20th century. Even today, some 75 years
after GaudÃ's death, his playful, exuberant buildings continue
to influence architects, sculptors, and designers. Perhaps most identified
with the dynamic, sculptural facades found on his structures, GaudÃ
is respected as much for his technological innovations as for his daring
style.
In this enlightening, portable volume, a concise, knowledgeable text
by the director of the Cà tedra Gaudà at the University
of Barcelona is brilliantly illustrated with 200 images by a gifted architectural
photographer to provide a new perspective on GaudÃ's remarkable
career. The author traces all the influences that led to the architect's
definitive style, from his fascination with the Orient and Neogothicism
to his love of naturalism and geometric forms. Here is the full range of
his oeuvre from the innovative residences for the Güell
family to his unfinished masterpiece, the Church of the Sagrada Familia,
which occupied him until his death. This handsome overview of GaudÃ's
visionary work is ideal for those who delight in his architecture, as well
as those who look forward to traveling to Spain to see his monumental legacy.

Gaudi: Park Güell (1 View-Master reel)
by Michael Kaplan
The great Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi was born in Catalonia
in 1852, the son of a coppersmith. His residential and religious buildings
are known for their complex shapes, intricate and colorful decoration,
and daring structural innovation. Park Güell, commissioned
in 1900 by Gaudi's lifelong patron Eusebio Güell, was the
architect's unique venture into urban design. The 'garden city' included
60 potential building sites and an assortment of park structures that conformed
to the topography of the Barcelona hillside. Amazon.com

Gaudi:
A Biography
by Gijs Van Hensbergen
(Hardcover)
Gaudi:
The Man and His Work
by Joan Masso Bergos
Book Description: Newly translated into English, this unique
illustrated biography of Antonio Gaud (1852-1926) is based upon the writings
by architect Joan Bergs, highly regarded as Gaudm's closest confidant and
leading disciple.
Since the late 1800s, Spanish architect Antonio Gaud's fanciful buildings
have defined Barcelona's cityscape, creating startling architectural forms
that paralleled the development of Art Nouveau. His playful spires and
towers, undulating tiled roofs,mand writhing chimneys loom like fantastic
creatures atop commercial and apartment buildings alike, and his sculptures
are an integral part of many of the city's parks and public spaces. Published
in Catalan in 1954 and now newly translated into English, Gaud: The Man
and His Work is the first intimate biography of Antonio Gaud's life and
work based on the endeavors of the architect Joan Bergs. The illuminating
text of Gaud: The Man and His Work is the result of their ten-year relationship
and of Bergs's own profound understanding of Gaud's work. From firsthand
experience, we learn about Gaud's thought processes, his explorations of
art and technique, and his personal remembrances and are given a unique
view - in words and pictures - of one of the master architects of this
century.
