Armand Puig Tàrrech: Gaudí and the Sagrada Família
Interpretation of a Symbol. Typotex, 2013. 208 page

Text: György Szegő

The topic of the new volume of the series ‘Image-philosophy’ of Typotex is architecture, art history. The building is Spain’s most visited tourist attraction, but according to the author’s concept the book prepares you to see Gaudí’s “vision of peace” as a pilgrimage. In fact, the volume interprets Gaudí’s concept and the Christian mysticism in contemporary language, and the social role of his work in Catalonia.
