Praise for "The Complete Works": 'In light of the growing and generalrecognition of Gaudi's work, 150 years after his birth, I ponder thereason for this phenomenon, which is so unusual in the field ofarchitecture. Gaudi did not become a success as a result of the quantityof works completed, since he only directed about 20 important projects.Nor is his success due to the wide geographic diffusion of his buildings,since the majority of them are concentrated in the city of Barcelona.Neither is the architect's fame due to the fact that he was a greatpromoter of his work and character, since he isolated himself fromeverything that could disturb his work. Nor were his proposals acceptedwith enthusiasm by his contemporaries who, in general, were hostiletowards them.Gaudi's secret was probably knowing how to tacklearchitectural creation in a distinct manner, without artistic or technicalprejudices. His knowledge of the trades and the procedures of constructionpermitted him to stand out in his era. He was a virile and overwhelmingindividual, capable of breaking tradition, with fidelity to historicstyles and the determination to please the euphoric bourgeoisie of the1900s. He replanted the essence of architecture and reconsidered tastesand materials, procedures, techniques, systems of calculation, geometricrepertoires etc. Gaudi was a visionary; even though there are people whodare to state it, basing their argument on a hypothetical esotericism ofthe system of symbols that he used. Gaudi was one of the most illustriousminds in the transition from the 19th to the 20th century' - Excerpt fromthe introduction by Daniel Giralt-Miracle, General commissioner of theInternational Year of Gaudi.

"Architecture is the masterly, correct and magnificent play of volumes brought together in light." — Le Corbusier
Born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, Le Corbusier (1887-1965) adopted his famous pseudonym after publishing his ideas in the review L'Esprit Nouveau in 1920. The few buildings he was able to design during the 1920s, when he also spent much of his time painting and writing, brought him to the forefront of modern architecture, though it was not until after World War II that his epoch-making buildings were constructed, such as the Unité d'Habitation apartment complex in Marseilles, and the chapel of Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp.

Josep Maria Jujol (1879-1949) developed his unusual architectural style through many years of close, creative collaboration with Antoni Gaudi. Jujol’s work is characterized by a high degree of sensibility to the forms of nature, an emphatically anti-geometric aesthetic, attention to workmanship and detail, as well as the imaginative use of old and previously utilized material. It is an eloquent expression of his affection for the Catalonian landscape, his modesty, and deep religious faith.
