{"product_id":"43429-gaudi-the-complete-works","title":"Gaudí. The Complete Works","description":"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.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458107367637,"sku":"9783836564465","price":320000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spanish","offer_id":53458107400405,"sku":"9783836564441","price":320000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/05f3f6507048ac33da8c21c9807279b4.png?v=1773906192","url":"https:\/\/weavingtheplanet.com\/en\/products\/43429-gaudi-the-complete-works","provider":"Weaving The Planet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
