Antonio
Gaudi : Master Architect by Juan Bassegoda Nonell, et al
Book Description: Antonio Gaudí (1852-1926) is one of the best-known
architects of the 20th century. Even today, some 75 years after Gaudí'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, Gaudí 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 Càtedra Gaudí at the University of Barcelona is
brilliantly illustrated with 200 images by a gifted architectural photographer
to provide a new perspective on Gaudí'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 Gaudí'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.

Gaudí: Park Güell (1 View-Master reel) by Michael Kaplan
The great Spanish architect Antonio Gaudí 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 (September 15, 2001)

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.
