I is for irregular (La Pedrera in Barcelona)


Here is yet another Gaudí masterpiece, built between 1905 to 1910. Although officially called Casa Milà - as the name of businessman who commissioned it -, is known as La Pedrera by irregular gray stone front view that enters in the form of wave to the Provença Street. A raw sculpture carved and moulded into Passeig de Gràcia. Source  (plus detailed information on the building). It is always fascinating to admire the irregular and intricate embellishments too.

    The Irregular facade is much more Interesting than a blank square front.
    Great choice.

    Up to a great blog year! When I saw your thumbnail pic, I clicked on because I thought it was a Gaudi. He intrigues me!

    I love Gaudi's surreal style of architecture. I've never been to Spain, but my daughter will be attending an architectural studies trip there this summer. Blessings and happy ABC Wednesday!
