WilksIf you are like me and hitherto knew nothing about the man who designed the Sagrada Familia other than that single fact; then this book is for you. If covers his life; education; religious and political affiliations; his impact on Spanish life and how he saw architecture as an expression of beauty; his Catalan nationalism and his wish to render homage to God.Every right-hand side page has a full colour photo of his startlingly original style; either as an interior or exterior shot; with the facing left page comprised of text and further; smaller photos blended into the dialogue. It truely is a treasure and a delight to own.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. UnsatisfactoryBy LesleyThis was a huge disappointment. As an ebook it was difficult to read with;at best; 2 or three words in each line. The illustrations had no reference to the writing and the writing style was erratic and pompous.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
