The Complete Gaudí

Freedom of form with the “Dante of architecture”

The life of Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) was full of complexity and contradictions. As a young man he joined the Catalonian nationalist movement and was critical of the church; toward the end of his life he devoted himself completely to the construction of one single spectacular church, La Sagrada Familia. In his youth, he courted a glamorous social life and the demeanor of a dandy. By the time of his death in a tram accident on the streets of Barcelona his clothes were so shabby passersby assumed he was a beggar.

Gaudí’s incomparable architecture channels much of this multifaceted intricacy. From the shimmering textures and skeletal forms of Casa Batlló to the Hispano-Arabic matrix of Casa Vicens, his work merged the influences of Orientalism, natural forms, new materials, and religious faith into a unique Modernista aesthetic. Today, his unique aesthetic enjoys global popularity and acclaim. His magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia, is the most-visited monument in Spain, and seven of his works are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Through brand-new photography, plans and drawings by Gaudí himself, historical photos, as well as an appendix detailing all his works—from buildings to furniture, decor to unfinished projects—this book presents Gaudí’s universe like never before. Like a personal tour through Barcelona, we discover how the “Dante of architecture” was a builder in the truest sense of the word, crafting extraordinary constructions out of minute and mesmerizing details, and transforming fantastical visions into realities on the city streets.

Great book with one exception

Bryan G.,6 luglio 2022
I really loved the content of this very comprehensive volume. However, the pages are absolute fingerprint magnets. I’m not sure if it has something to do with the stock or the printing techniques used in this particular book, because it hasn’t really been an issue for me in any other Taschen publication that I’ve owned, but I wanted to warn others to be extra careful with this one.

Für Gaudíliebhaber

Claudia,3 novembre 2021
Das Buch bietet gute Informationen und auch als Gaudíliebhaber entdeckt man interessante Werke von denen man noch nichts wusste. Ein schönes Buch, das wenn man Gaudí mag, nicht fehlen sollte.

Enfin toute l'oeuvre de ce génial architecte catalan

Michel,29 ottobre 2021
Pendant les années au cours desquelles j'ai vécu à Barcelone j'avais eu l'occasion de voir régulièrement les réalisations de cet architecte hors du commun. Cela a été un vrai bonheur de trouver ce livre qui lui est consacré et retrace dans le détail son oeuvre et sa vie. La qualité de l'ouvrage est exceptionnelle.

Ein tolles Werk
