Il surreale percorso predisposto da Gaudí viene valorizzato dalla presenza di trenta camini, di due giri di ventilazione e di sei sbocchi delle scale di servizio, tutti elementi che , malgrado la loro natura funzionale , sono concepiti come vere e proprie opere d'arte.
Sono presenti ciminiere isolate e disposte in gruppo, ciminiere elicoidali e ciminiere coronate da quello che sembra essere il casco di un guerriero: interessante, in particolare, la ciminiera che presenta un cuore inciso nel lato verso Reus, città natale di Gaudí, e una lacrima in quello rivolto verso la Sagrada Familia, forse a testimoniare il dispiacere dell'architetto di vedere la propria opera magna incompleta.
I toni cromatici prevalenti dei caminetti sono cremosi, anche se spesso non mancano accensioni di colori più intensi e variopinti.

Entrando in casa Milà, nota anche come La Pedrera, si ha la sensazione di trovarsi all’interno di un corpo vivo ed accogliente, pareti, soffitti, serramenti ed ogni più piccolo dettagli sia dei vani che delle scale si sviluppano in onde, curve e linee morbide.
Il tema principale degli ornamenti e delle decorazioni è il mare: onde che si susseguono ora lente ora increspate, mulinelli e gorghi, immagini di flora e fauna marina sono incise o in rilievo su pareti e soffitti.

Love this beautiful light on the ceiling of the Casa Batlló. Architect's dream, builder's nightmare. Such genius from Gaudí.
Hmmm, Queen Ann, psychedelic, I'll go with gothic. Rather hard to classify the style of design and architecture of this unique float home. Perhaps a touch of Antoni Gaudi's Sagrada Familia. It wasn't finished when I took this shot. But did hear it was put up for sale later in 2020.
"This 1,800-square-foot floating home is in Bayview Idaho. It features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an internal boat garage and, best of all, unobstructed views of Lake Pend Oreille." krem.com
Tempting, but think it would be a challenge to keep warm in the winter. But do love the many unique, quirky and whimsical features it offers.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Casa Mila by Antoni Gaudi, Barcelona, Spain
Watching this travel program which reminds me of this wonderful artwork that is on the UNESCO.

"Apartment block built between 1906 and 1910 in Barcelona for the Milà family.
The façade is an impressive wave-like mass of rough-shipped stone.The windows and doors seem to be dug out of this stone mass and are trimmed in exquisitely crafted wrought iron work with vegetal forms on the balconies and astonishing grilles on the two street-doors.
On the stepped terrace, coming as an elegant surprise are the huge stair exits of sculptured spirals and faced with broken ceramics and marble. The chimneys bring to mind knights wearing visors.
All of this makes up a fantastic and futurist space. The interior marine decoration - ceilings, columns and the furniture designed by Gaudi for this house are extremely modern. The Mila apartments measured 1,323 squares meters, a really vast place.
Casa Milà was classified as World Heritage in the1984 UNESCO Catalogue.
Gaudí was born in 1852 in Reus, a small town south of Barcelona, and he died in a street accident in 1926. The intellectual context towards the end of the 19th century in Catalonia was marked by Modernisme, a movement that extended from around 1880 to the First World War, parallel to currents such as Naturalism, Arts and Crafts, and Art Nouveau. It was motivated by return to traditions as an expression of national identity, as well as by the introduction of modern techniques and materials. Modernisme differed from the other movements by becoming important for popular cultural identity. Gaudí's work represents the genius of the architect, expressing particular spatial qualities and plasticity in the undulating lines and harmonies of colours and materials in architectural surfaces and sculpted features."
"È davvero meraviglioso che io non abbia lasciato perdere tutti i miei ideali perché sembrano assurdi e impossibili da realizzare.
Eppure me li tengo stretti perché, malgrado tutto, credo ancora che la gente sia veramente buona di cuore. Semplicemente non posso fondare le mie speranze sulla confusione, sulla miseria e sulla morte. Vedo il mondo che si trasforma gradualmente in una terra inospitale; sento avvicinarsi il tuono che distruggerà anche noi; posso percepire le sofferenze di milioni di persone; ma, se guardo il cielo lassù, penso che tutto tornerà al suo posto, che anche questa crudeltà avrà fine e che ritorneranno la pace e la tranquillità." Anna Frank
Without a doubt, the most amazing building I have ever visited—Casa Batlló is located in Barcelona, Spain, and was designed by Antoni Gaudí. www.google.com/search?q=casa%20batllo “The locals called it ‘House of Bones’ since its facade has a visceral, skeletal look.
Identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense, this residential property appeals a lot to the kids – for it triggers wild imagination.
Gaudi has taken inspiration from nature and tried to stick as close to it as possible.
When you visit Casa Batllo, you will find yourself surrounded by plants, skeletons, dragons, marine life, and various other animals.”
La Casa Milà fue declarada Monumento Histórico-Artístico de Carácter Nacional en 1969, y en 1984 la Unesco la incluyó dentro del Lugar Patrimonio de la Humanidad «Obras de Antoni Gaudí», junto con el Palacio Güell, el Parque Güell y la Cripta de la Colonia Güell.
Cerca, a poca distancia se encuentra un lago del cual se pueden hacer buenas fotos tambien de esta maravilla inacabada.
