Es un libro sobre la obra de Antonio Gaudí con datos inéditos de algunos de sus edificios y su análisis según los cinco principios clave del construir arquitectónico, los cuales se sintetizan en la conveniencia estética, presidida en la obra de Gaudí por la idea de continuidad determinante de su radical originalidad arquitectónica.

"The book examines the life and architectonic and didactic legacy of noted architect O'Gorman (b. Mexico) with critical texts by expert scholars regarding some of his ideas on the aesthetics of architecture with a special emphasis in public primary schools. Includes a reprint of the booklet titled "Escuelas Primarias 1932" by O'Gorman as a report while working for the Mexican Ministry of Education (SEP) of the construction of 28 public primary schools in Mexico City."--Provided by vendor.

The remarkably prolific career of an innovative young Chilean architect is profiled in this engaging study. Born in 1965 and in professional practice since 1991, this architect's impact on his native landscape is observed mainly in a series of private houses located in some of the most sublime sites in Chile. The forceful yet austere character of his design approach and its radical relationship to surrounding landscape elements can be fully appreciated by viewing this book's fine pictorial panorama.
