Impossible to capture in a photograph, the interior of this house was a true masterpiece of functional art. Because there are no straight lines in nature, Gaudi didn’t incorporate them into his buildings. His use of different materials was phenomenal and the balance of light and airflow was of primary importance to the living space. Gaudi does not have a lot of buildings in the world, because he was intimately involved in the intricate details of design and construction of each one. They all bear his personal touch.

I am a huge fan of Frank Lloyd Wright with his geometrical simplicity. But after seeing the work of Antoni Gaudi, I can honestly say that I no longer have a single favorite architect.
