Too small to please,
By A Customer
This review is from: Antonio Gaudi: Master Architect (Tiny Folio) (Hardcover)
I was very disappointed in this book. Having visited Barcellona last month and seen a copy there, I ordered it as soon as I got home. But to my amazement the book I received was only 10 cms square. The one I saw was about 25cms square. Same title, same cover illustration etc, but only 40% of the size.Maybe it has the same content, but it is far too small to enjoy the visual magnificence of Gaudis brilliant work.And it's too small to fit properly on a bookshelf with my other art books.

small can be beautiful,
This review is from: Antonio Gaudi: Master Architect (Tiny Folio) (Hardcover)
True, this may be too small to convey the scale and splendour of Gaudi's work, but it's a handy little reminder, sturdy and easy to hold, that you can pack into a bag to browse through on the bus, or refer to for inspiration in an environment away from your bookshelves at home. It covers a very wide range of work with clear photographs and minimal text.

Gaudi-nature's authentic architect,
By Bluelens - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Antonio Gaudi: Master Architect (Hardcover)
After visiting Barcelona and being captivated by the work of an architect I had never heard of, I found this terrific book. The commentary is by a native scholar from Catalonia who writes with directness and clarity. Gaudi used nature's forms to inspire, and was uninterested in artistic intellectualization. Mostly photos here, but the text has depth. There's a chronology of Gaudi's work and background on what little we know of his upbringing. It is more thorough than tourist-geared materials available in Barcelona, and priced better than encyclopedia-like scholarly volumes.

Great book for anybody interested in Gaudi and his works,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Antonio Gaudi: Master Architect (Hardcover)
As a student in architecture I spent some time looking for a good book on the works of Antonio Gaudi. I wasn't happy with any of the subject materials that were out there until I stumbled into this book. The clarity of the pictures are amazing and could make anyone feel as though they were right in front of La Sagrada Familia. This book also includes some of Gaudi's sketches, as well as a few floor plans, elevations, and sections of some of his well known buildings. If you are a fan of Antonio Gaudi then this book would defenitely be a good investment. Even if you're not a student in architecture this book will make you appreciate the creativity of Antonio Gaudi, and his use of symbolism (in La Sagrada Familia)

Gaudi Triumphantes!,
By CamiloUK "Camilo the Silver Bint" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Antonio Gaudi: Master Architect (Hardcover)
Essentially this is a picture book, but what pictures! The photography has used the extraordinary architecture and added a new dimension to it in vision and lighting. If you would know Gaudi, look at his work: and this is one of the best ways to do it if you cannot readily get to Catalunya. In addition, the production and design of the book, in a relatively small format, has been very carefully thought out, resulting in one of those rare volumes which is delightful to handle and admire in its own right, quite apart from its content. An absolute little gem.
