If Star Wars fits into your idea of "cool", how about blowing ¥330,000 on this Lucas Film collaboration for Boys' Day:

His buildings, perhaps, but Gaudí himself?
A deeply spiritual and religious man who loved nature, hated straight lines and right angles, monotony in colours, industrialisation and machine made objects (the iron in his work was hand wrought by artisans), and he became completely disinterested in his own appearance towards the end of his life - many thought he was a beggar.
Don't think he would have enjoyed the weather much either.

As an aside, wasn't the fellow who took over (at least part of) the helm of la Sagrada Família Japanese?

"A part of" only

I had the good fortune to meet Lluís Bonet i Garí when I was young. Just checked to be sure, he used to be in charge and is the father of the guy who is currently at the helm.
