Casa Mila - The Quarry / Casa Milà - La Pedrera
Passeig de Gracia, Eixample, Barcelona
1905-10
Antoni Gaudí, Architect



Casa Mila is a beautiful sculptural building that expresses pure tectonic delight and unlike Sagrada Familia (also by Antoni Gaudi) its architecture is simpler and less specific, therefore in many ways more sophisticated. Gaudi has taken stone and moulded it like lava, achieving pure drama.
