Got Color? No More Neutrals…Get Gaudi!
February 26, 2011
A long winter..”neutrals” got you down? Fret no longer, Get energized with Gaudi.
No, it's not a dragon—it's a building. From: Complete works: Gaudi / by Aurora Cuito, Cristina Montes. This image from the book is by Pere Planells
Exquisite photography and detailed descriptions of sites provide a compelling entree into the Gaudi world. As an architectural color consultant I particularly enjoy Gaudi’s bold, personal style of color in architecture. I’m happy to have the English edition so I can actually read the text!
Next stop…Barcelona!
