Gaudi

And this is the main facade. It's insane. Designed by the architect Gaudi and started in the 1880s it still has another 20 years before completion, if it goes according to plan. Gaudi was an architect of Catalan Modernism, but more specifically the cathedral is neo-Gothic with inspiration from Islamic geometric forms, eastern designs, the human body and trees, or indeed anything organic. It looks a bit like someone had dug up millions of bones from a plague cemetery and welded them all together. It's stunning in its own unique way. It's certainly not to everyone's liking (and not even sure I do) but there's no doubting its extraordinary and unparalleled design. I certainly love its boldness.
