About Casa Milà - La Pedrera
Casa Milà - La Pedrera is a UNESO World Heritage Sites in Barcelona designed by the Catalan Architect, Antoni Gaudí. Casa Milà gets its nickname "La Pedrera" (which translates to "the stone quarry") from its rugged, stone-like façade.
Gaudi built La Pedrera using three types of stones sourced from mountains near Barcelona. Limestone from Garraf and Ulldecona and another type of stone from Vilafranca de Penedès, which was used for the majority of the front facing exterior wall.
La Pedrera is on 'Passeig de Gràcia', which is one of Barcelona's most exclusive and fashionable streets. Gaudí defied municipal building guidelines during its construction, which resulted in the building exceeding what was allowed, rendering it technically illegal at the time. However, upon completion, the city council certified it as "a monument in nature," exempting it from the local bylaws.
The front facing exterior wall which gives the building its nickname of "La Pedrera" is not a structural part of the property and doesn't act as a load bearing wall. It is made up of over 6000 blocks of stone that are connected by metal poles. Its this design that allows the building to have the large windows on the front of the property.
Gaudí used pillars inside the property made from stone, brick and iron and the are a clever design as they are used for load bearing purposes and this allowed him to built the interior as he wanted and not worry about load bearing walls ruining the flow. He also wanted Casa Milà to have a lot of natural light flowing through it, so La Pedrera actually has has around 150 windows.
Casa Milà was Gaudi's final private domestic commission before he stopped taking on projects so he could concentrate on his crowning glory, the Sagrada Familia.
