Works of Antoni Gaudí

Description
Gaudí reinvented architecture from nature. The Sagrada Familia grows skyward like a stone forest, Park Güell is a fairy tale of undulating mosaics, and Casa Batlló has not a single straight line. Strolling Barcelona is discovering a universe where buildings breathe, columns are trees and rooftops are dragons.
