Barcelona - Casa Milà (La Pedrera)
|
|
The Casa Milà, situated on a corner site at the crossing of the Passeig de Gràcia with the Carrer de Provença, is the last and most famous secular building of Antoni Gaudí. In the design of this multi-story dwelling block he departed completely from established principles of construction, so that the result resembles a piece of sculpture rather than a functional building.

The complete building is grouped around two oval-shaped air wells. Even when it was being erected the building aroused passionate controversy: serious differences arose between Gaudí and his client Milà i Camps-Segimon on account of the long construction period and the alterations which Gaudí continually kept putting off making.
