This is one of the architect Gaudi's best-known works and is emblematic of Barcelona.. It was built between 1906 and 1912 and consists of a succesion of stone walls on the outside.Everything in this building is curved and undulated..Its originality and the techniques used in its construction are surprising throughout..Meanwhile,the interior has two painted courtyards,columns and a range of rooms..The undulating façade opens up with large windows and iron balconies..On the roof,meanwhile, there are chimneys,sculptures worthy of admiration in themselves,from where there is a splendid view of Passeo de Gràcia street..The building has been declared World Heritage and is the pinnacle of Modernist techniques and tendencies...

life is a movie that has no genre
To see such grand scale and innovation for its time (and still) is an affirmation of the immenseness of human creativity.

It always lifts the heart to see the creativity of mankind. Adriana, a wonderful shot and thanks for bringing it and sharing it with us.

I think that to see an artist's work like this, and I truly believe that good architects are artists, is like looking into the soul of humanity...and this building for me brings to mind a stone dwelling much like might be seen in the American Southwest where the native people worked with what they had to build what they needed. To me this is a modern approach to an age-old solution. Well done by the creator and well seen and taken by you :)PJ

"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
Wonderful shot and narrative Adriana. To me it's very amazing that even the chimneys are sculptures themselves. Very well done! Regards, Cornelius

Gaudi is one of my favourite architect...with an impressive fource of changing the world of art,he managed with his innovator ideas to bring another perspective over the limits of architecture that's why his one of the most important pioneers of modern art.Thanks for sharing this picture with us Adriana!

This is such a pleasing building to look at, and I have to agree with PJ about the artist aspect as well. I love all the curved lines and they way there is nothing harsh about the buildings, it so soft to look at. I had no idea this house even exsisted and now I want to learn more about both the building and the man behind it. Beautiful capture my friend, thank you for sharing i.

Fantastic work on this. You took a great angle, that provides us with so many details and the great sky. And thanks for the presentation of this very interesting building.
