Gardener Architects of Barcelona 1888-1992

Through a literary portrait of eight garden architects who defined the urban greenery of the city of Barcelona over the course of a century, and applying an aesthetic approach to its parks and gardens, 'Gardeners' illuminates a Catalan tradition. Following these eight central figures, the book reveals a craft inherited and passed down from generation to generation of garden architects - a legacy that began with the great Barcelona expansion and the construction of the Eixample district. It features projects by Josep Fontsere, Antoni Gaudi, Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier, Nicolau Rubio i Tuduri, Lluis Riudor, Joaquim Maria Casamor, Antoni Falcon, and Patrizia Falcone.
