Gaudí: The Construction of Dreams by Jan MolemaGaudí: The Construction of Dreams by Jan Molema
Antoni Gaudí's unique naturalistic style has made him one of the most
famous architects of all time. But even with that high level of reknown,
the impulse behind the Catalan architect/artist s well-known works
remains shrouded in mystery. Eminent Dutch architectural historian Jan
Molema lifts that veil through an exploration of Gaudí's transformation
from architect to self-willed artist. By shedding light on Gaudí's artistic
influences such as Art Nouveau, his pioneering use of organic shapes
and materials, as well as his all-important structural ingenuity, we come
to understand not only what made Gaudí so revolutionary but also what
his many buildings mean symbolically.
