Book cover and interior design
Client: Uriach Foundation
Santa Maria del Mar is one of the most emblematic buildings in the city of Barcelona. This parish church of cathedral dimensions exemplifies, perhaps more than any other, the constructive rationality and economy of means that characterize Catalan Gothic architecture.
Its construction in the 14th century represents the expression of a Catalonia that, with the Ciutat Comtal at the forefront, was experiencing one of the most powerful and influential moments in its history thanks to the revenues of the Mediterranean mercantile empire. Its construction took fifty-five years, facilitated by merchants and traders who, helped by the city and the monarchy, erected a church that represented community pride and a place for their eternal rest.
The agreements for its construction, the financing of the works, its architectural characteristics and the interior furnishings are some of the elements that are meticulously studied in this complete guide, which will help the reader understand and interpret the abstract and rational beauty of a key work of Catalan Gothic.
