The infectious exuberance of Spanish architecture, both pre and high modern, is made tangible in this lavish tribute to the jewel of Catalonia. Known as one of the most architecturally spectacular cities in the world, Barcelona's legacy does not end with Gaudi and Domenech. It continues to this very day in the work of the current generation. As much an architecture book as a survey of Barcelona's peculiar physical charms, this book is as comprehensive and detailed as it is accessible.
