This book explores Gaudí's life, work and influences, from Catalan nationalism to the Industrial Revolution. Michael Eaude expertly guides readers through Gaudí's great works--including the Sagrada Família, which attracts millions of tourists to Barcelona each year--and examines his monumental life, from the architect's provincial upbringing in Reus to his time in Barcelona, where he became a dandy whose only attempt at marriage was rejected. Gaudí later suffered a nervous breakdown, became obsessively religious, and fused Gothic, Baroque and Orientalist architecture into his unique style" -- Provided by publisher Architects - - Spain - - Biography. 196760 Architects 54076 Biography Spain Biographies 300488 lcc 27 NA1313.G3 General A4 2024 306478 306478 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2024-05-22 Amazon 24.67 0 General NA1313.G3 A4 2024 91000000754275 2026-06-11 15:36:07 1 34.67 2024-05-22 27
