: "Not all great buildings change the trajectory of other architecture. There are certain masterpieces which don't seem to have any perceptible effect on the way that other buildings are designed and created, and yet despite that they remain unquestionable masterpieces, structures of such peculiar originality that they seem to expand the previously assumed limits of the builder's art. Almost all the designs of Antoni Gaudí are of this sort - but none more clearly so than the Casa Milà."
The Guardian's Great Modern Buildings, #4
Gaudí himself - "Color is life: The clearest manifestation of death is lack of colour. Carved stone roses are not true roses because the greatest part of the beauty of roses is in their colour, which the carved ones do not have."
