"The
undulating rhythms and the organic imagery of these interiors create
the feeling that the house lives and breathes. Spiral forms on the
walls and ceilings lend a sensation of movement to the spaces. One
Gaudí scholar, Philippe Thiébaut, has even suggested that the rooms of
the Batlló apartment unfold like a process of cellular growth." - Rachel Grossman (1/2011)
