Personal reflections on 20th-century European architecture. Santiago Calatrava. When he created the Church at
Colonia Gueil (1916) just outside
Barcelona, the architect Antoni Gaudi explored the limits of what is architecturally possible. Spanish engineer and architect Santiago Calatrava assesses
Gaudi's famous work. "To be at
Colonia Guell," he says, "is to experience Gaudi's architectural obsession - an obsession that transcends the ordinary and reveals to us something of the sublime." Director Mark Kidel
