Studio 1 (10.03.09) - Step 3: Image B

Antonio Gaudí 'Casa Mila (La Pedrera)' (1905–1907)
















This building is at the same time beautifully organic in its form, yet highly sculpted and surreal. Gaudi has payed very close attention to the finer details of the architecture; for example the ceilings feature and array of symbolic pictographs and scuplture and the balconies are enclosed by warped and tortured metal that is both visually stimulating and practical. It is an alarming and impressive fusion of artistic sculpture and practical architecture that makes for a very inhabitable building and visual spectacle.
