Barcelona-Gaudi-Casa Mila

the descriptions here indicate that this was Gaudi crowning achievement. This house was created for a wealthy family. You will notice his tendencies to reject straight lines, and his multiple references to different forms in nature.

Actually, this photo and the one below were taken in Portbou. This photo shows the rally for the socialist party leading up to the election a few days later.
This made me question where this games origins were
Even the ceiling corners are nonlinear
most old buildings of this era have many very small rooms, very compartmentalized. This was the dining room and the meeting room that Gaudi decided should become what we now call a “great room”.
This is casa Batlló before and after Gaudi’s remodeling
Chimneys designed as guards or warriors
Sagrada Familia in the distance
During the two hour lunch break at the train station there were only two windows open to serve over 50 people waiting to buy tickets
