Gaudi Style



Spanish architect Gaudi had a style of his own. In the image above is a building in Barcelona, Spain that he designed.
His signature style is a bit haunting at the same time as being festive, kind of like a Halloween carnival.

Gaudi's work in the late 1800s was unique and based on nature with the use of carved stone and twisted iron. This type of arhitecture is referred to as organic because the shapes emulate free forms that you might see under the ocean, at the tops of trees or on the rocky cliffs near the beach.

If your in Barcelona it's fun to walk the streets, spotting Gaudi's architecture.
