This review is from: Antoni Gaudi (Obras y Proyectos / Works and Projects) (Paperback)

ISBN: 8425214459 is an exclusively black & white, concise and copiously illustrated paperback survey of 26 major works between 1870 and 1910 published in 1992 by Gustavo Gili (GG) of Barcelona in English and Spanish side by side on 223 pages, as a 2nd edition. A short introductory part on several pages is followed by the main review part presenting each shortly described project on excellent B&W photos, plans, sections, elevations, hard line presentation drawings, sketches, models, etc. The book is ended with a biography, writings, list of works, etc. on 15 pages. All of only B&W illustrations (dominating photos and very numerous technical drawings) are of a good quality, well balanced, crisp and legible. Like all from the Works and Projects series, it is solid among architectural monographs, but slightly smaller than the Studio Paperback series published by Birkhäuser Verlag under ISBN: 37643* (Basel)/08176* (Boston) or Artemis Verlag under ISBN: 37608* (Zürich)/18740* (London).
