This is a critical biography of one of the 20th century's greatest
architects. At the time of his death in 1926, Antoni Gaudi was arguably
the most famous architect in the world. He had created some of the
greatest and most controversial masterpieces of modern architecture,
that were as exotic as they were outrageous. A precurser to the other
great Catalan artists such as Picasso, Dali and Bunuel, Gaudi created
dramatically original and daring art that was to surpass and reinvent
all that had gone before.
