Barcelona Houses
|
Gaudi is synonymous with the architecture of Barcelona. Surely the most imaginative and creative architect in the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (IMHO).
This is Casa Mila - also known as La Pedrera.
A multi-purpose building. There is a sample flat to visit, which is very open plan - with room dividers, depending how the occupants want to use the space.
Everything about this building was an adventure to explore. This is the attic space.
However this building is most famous for the chimneys on the roof. You can see why.
This is one of the air vents.
Ann posing.
A combination of rustic and modern decorations.
This is one of Gaudi's most colourful buildings, nicknamed the "House of Bones".
The roofs are fantastically well decorated.
One of Gaudi's early houses showing a strong Moorish influence.
Gaudi even designed this Dragon-gate. As it swings open, the dragon's jaws close.
Gaudi did a lot of work for the Guell family. This is the upper part of the family's main home.
Again the roof space is a must to explore.
