Gaudí"Gaudis organic structures, the pinnacles and towers that rise like growing plants or up-reaching tentacles, tiled roofs that undulate like prehistoric monsters, chimneys and ventilators looming, like alien creatures, and rooms, hallways and vestibules in which the right angle has been obliterated to create a living ebb and flow of inner space."--BOOK JACKET. |
