Gaudi was a master of twentieth century architecture with his organic multicoloured and positively bizarre designs. his works celebrated individuality aestheticism as well as practicality and pure artistic innovation. taschen has brought us yet another essential 2-volume box set charting not only the evolution of gaudi's works but also how they represented transformations in the way people thought and manifested their visions.

《高迪:富于幻想的建筑师》作者安东尼·高迪（AntonioGaudi）－科尔内特1852年6月25日诞生于离巴塞罗那不远的加泰罗尼亚小城雷乌斯。高迪的建筑被认为是20世纪世界最有原创精神、最重要的建筑，是现代建筑艺术的代表。东方伊斯兰风格、新哥特主义以及现代主义、自然主义等诸多元素都被他“高迪化”后，统一在了他的建筑中。高迪崇尚大自然，自然是他灵感的泉眼，他从不挖空心思地去“发明”什么特别的形式，只想着仿效大自然，像自然那样去建筑，他说：“只有疯子才会试图去描绘世界上不存在的东西！”因此，在高迪的建筑中，绝少运用死板的直线，因为高迪认为自然界没有直线存在，如果有，也是一大堆曲线转换而成的。高迪是个疯狂的建筑师，他把巴塞罗那当作自己挥洒的舞台，尽情地放纵他一个个天才的设想，为巴塞罗那，更是为世界留下了格尔公园、米拉之家、巴特略之家、圣家堂等18件不朽的建筑杰作。

The complete works of the great Antoni Gaudi (TASCHEN's 25th anniversary special edition) Anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of Antoni Gaudi - the architect who has attracted art-lovers from all over the world to Spain, it was here, in the capital of Catalonia, that the famous master of architecture produced nearly all of his works, including villas for the well-to-do bourgeoisle, the expansive Guell Park (which today is open to the public), and the famous church designed in honour of the Holy Family - a project which was begun over 100 years ago and has yet to be completed. Antoni Gaudi's life was full of 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 church. As a young man Gaudi had a liking for the glamour of social life and the looks of a dandy; in old age, on the other hand, he lived a spartan life. Gaudi never married and devoted his life entirely to his art: architecture. His works have been acclaimed as "soothing oases in a desert of functional buildings," as "precious gems in the uniform grey of rows of houses," and the master himself was acclaimed as the "Dante of architecture". This book provides a sweeping study of his entire career, presenting his complete works via texts and illustrations.
