Gaudi - Architect of Imagination
"When Antoni Gaudâi can't go to school like the other kids, nature becomes his teacher. Later, when he trains to be an architect in Barcelona, his headmaster wonders, is he a 'genius or a fool'? Others think he is an artistic genius who is ahead of his time."--

Description
Your dreams can change the world!
Colourful mosaics, playful flowing forms, imaginative facades—Barcelona shines with the buildings of Antoni Gaudí. How did the son of a Catalan blacksmith become a world-famous architect?
The first years of Gaudí's life were challenging. Because of an illness, young Gaudí couldn’t attend school and was often alone. Many of his days were spent out in nature, which he would later call his great teacher. Even during his training as an architect in Barcelona, his teachers were puzzled, wondering: is he a “genius or a fool?” Many considered his unusual ideas eccentric, sometimes even crazy. But Gaudí was simply ahead of his time. His buildings are now a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site.
With an insightful eye into the world of an inspired genius, award-winning author Susan B. Katz tells of Gaudí's life and work. Linda Schwalbe's dazzling and powerful illustrations reflect the inventive, daring, and flamboyant style of Gaudí's work.
Gaudi - Architect of Imagination by Linda Schwalbe and Susan B. Katz is a captivating journey into the life and legacy of a visionary architect.
