Architecture Class: Casa Mila

Today Rafael showed the class a video concerning the construction and the story behind the elegant building Casa Mila. I personally find this to be one of my most favorite structures so far because the outside is painted a magnificent stone, as well with the interior causing its inhabitants to assume they are in a cave. There is a bit of artificial light in the building, but quite a lot of natural light as well because the architect, Antoni Gaudí, constructed two huge gaps in the building that have nothing but the open air. I really love these additions because it makes this building truly unique. Another thing that I love about Gaudí is that he focuses on every little detail, he doesn't just create the building, he is the interior designer as well. From every column, to staircase, to even the doors he made sure everything was personalized. If I'm an architect one day I hope to possibly follow the methods of Gaudí.
