Antoni Gaudí i Cornet gehört zu den innovativsten Architekten seiner Zeit. Zunächst vom modernisme – der spanischen Variante des Jugendstils – beeinflusst, entwickelte er bald seine eigene Bauweise, die stilistisch nur schwer einzuordnen ist. Gaudí war fasziniert von der städtischen Umgebung und den Möglichkeiten, die diese dem Architekten bot. Seine Arbeiten sind ohne die Stadt Barcelona nicht denkbar, und seine Architektursprache hat die Metropole in vielfacher Hinsicht geprägt. Dieses Buch präsentiert das Œuvre Antoni Gaudís in chronologischer Abfolge. Zu ihm gehören frühe Bauwerke wie die Casa Vicens und die Pavillons der Finca Güell, Arbeiten der mittleren Schaffensperiode wie der Park Güell und die Torre Bellesguard sowie die Sagrada Família, sein architektonisches Meisterwerk, das bis zum heutigen Tag unvollendet geblieben ist.
