Gaudi Chimneys Casa Milà La Pedrera Barcelona
Project of Antoni Gaudí, built between 1906 and 1910 for Milà family. One of the main Gaudí residential buildings and one of the most imaginative houses of the history of the architecture, this building is more an sculpture than a building. Some of the collaborators in the works were the architect Josep Maria Jujol, the brothers Badia as iron forgers, the founder Manyach, the builder Josep Bayo and the plaster Joan Beltran. The façade is an impressive, varied and harmonious mass of undulating stone without straight lines where also the forged iron is present in the shapes of balconies imitating vegetal forms. The roof show an exuberant fantasy, the chimneys designing vanguard shapes remember warriors in a forest of surprising figures. The building was recognized by UNESCO as "World Heritage" in 1984.
