Scanning "La Pedrera"

-->

1- Casa Milà or La Pedrera, Eixample district, Barcelona

2- Building

3- Designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built during the years 1905–1912

4- The building reflects the Catalan modernism used by Gaudí in other works of his. The curved line, representing the waves of sea, dominates in the building. In addition there are zoomorphic elements. The outside is covered by rough stones and this is the reason why it is called Pedrera.

5- Cultural place with a museum on the construction techniques of Antoni Gaudí.

Inside there are also private flats,  shops and tourist accomodation.

6- La Pedrera has been declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1984; so it is unique in the world.

7- Curiosity and interest in discovering the ability and the originality of the architect to  design the curved lines. How new!!
