CASA MILA

This was his last private commission before he devoted himself to religious projects. Gaudí was free to design this corner block of apartments the way he wanted. His goal was to create a completely new form of housing. The ideas for it developed out of the ideas of the Casa Battló, but go even further in exaggeration and distortion. With this building Gaudí shows to be a genius of great intelligence and with an enormous creativity. La Pedrera is the architectural demonstration of his interpretation of nature : the massive blocks of stone of the façade recall the mountains, the curves of the façade reflect the sea, and the ironworks represent plants and flowers.
