The surreal, twisting architecture of Catalan master Antoni Gaudi forms the basis of Tuesday’s Google doodle.
Snippets of six of Gaudi’s iconic modernist buildings or mosaics spell out Google for his 161st birthday, although the actual letters get lost in the design.
Gaudi was struck and killed by a tram in Barcelona in 1926, leaving unfinished his most famous work, the Sagrada Familia church.
Seven of his designs, in and around Barcelona, have been designated World Heritage sites.
