In celebration of Gaudí Year 2026, Combel pays tribute to the legendary Catalan architect with a children’s pop-up book that brings his iconic buildings to life in paper, coinciding with Barcelona 2026 as UNESCO World Capital of Architecture. Created by acclaimed author and illustrator Patricia Geis, Gaudí introduces young readers to his life and work in a playful, accessible, and visually stunning way. Gaudí’s presence is part of our everyday life at Combel: from the windows of our offices, we watch the Sagrada Família continue to rise—an inspiration behind this heartfelt tribute. What an Artist! Gaudí Scheduled for release in late February, this high-quality illustrated non-fiction book for children features nine impressive pop-ups, each offering a simplified yet faithful interpretation of Gaudí’s most iconic buildings, accompanied by engaging facts and anecdotes written especially for young readers. The book explores some of Gaudí’s most celebrated works, including Casa Vicens, El Capricho, the Sagrada Família, Palau Güell, Casa Botines, Park Güell, Casa Batlló, and Casa Milà – La Pedrera. Inspired by nature, geometry, and color, Gaudí’s architecture unfolds from each spread: a house like a sunflower, a facade shaped like a dragon, a forest made of stone or a quarry in the heart of the city. Open it, explore it, and let yourself be amazed! Part of the acclaimed What an Artist! series, Gaudí is both a tribute to Antoni Gaudí’s extraordinary legacy and a showcase of Patricia Geis’s internationally recognized expertise in paper engineering. Gaudí will make its international debut at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair.
