The colourful architecture of Antoni Gaudi is perhaps the most recognizable in the world. His vivid imagination was expressed in fluid lines and grotesque animal, flower and water motifs. This fat little book catalogues each of the Catalonian architect’s masterworks. Hundreds of colour photographs are included. Some show incredible details, like those of the Door of the Dragon – a monster-themed gate, hand wrought in steel. Other images of colossal structures like Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia capture the vastness of Gaudi’s vision.
