Is there a connection between the English word ‘gaudy’ — meaning ‘ostentatiously ornamented’ — and architect Antonî Gaudî?

I was afraid to ask that question last summer in Barcelona…
Not sure, but he seems to be working under that assumption... :p

i love architecture...but even more so when part of a grand landscaping design as well....i find buildings interesting to look at, but i find homes with real estate/land/gardens and that type of incorporation most of all.

No. Gaudy is from the Latin word "gaudium", meaning "enjoyment". It far predates Mr Gaudi.

i love architecture...

Looks like you have a hankering for Deconstructivism, with big irregular forms and an attention to materials. Gehry designed a DeCon skyscraper in NYC...

yes to a large degree...i enjoy looking and admiring that particular style...though i don't know if i'd like to live in it. :wink::biggrin1:

but of course i enjoy almost all styles, for the aesthetic pleasure, for example, a massive Georgian Mansion is to me rather boring...but it still is worth looking at to admire the craftsmanship, design and simplicity. :smile:

Wow! I love it - modern buildings that cleverly fit in with unusual surroundings are amazing.

I like the Hajj terminal at Jeddah Airport (made from canvas, etc), but there are no really good pics of it.

Me too. :)
