Gaudi or Gaudy?

So I never really downloaded pictures from a recent trip to Spain, but I was handed a few from a friend. Instead of spoiling the architecture with a photo of myself, here's one of the houses designed by Antoni Gaudi, who lived until the early 20th century. His architectural style is of the sea and earth, with wavy lines (few corners), mosaic style colors, and what some would call gaudy elements.

This building is the Casa Batillo, where an event we attended was held. Click the link if you want to host a party there....

Gaudi's most famous [incomplete] work is the Sagrada Familla, which we saw on a bus/walking tour. To me, it's a massive construction project......impressive, but not beautiful.

"Gaudy" is determined to be of 16th century origin, implying a magnificent feast....hm.
