442, Av. Diagonal (main façade)
Joan Comalat commissioned the architect Salvador Valeri Pupurull to design his house located in Barcelona's Eixample.
The construction of the house took place between 1909 and 1911, becoming a late example of the most lavish modernism.
The Casa Comalat shows many elements of Gaudí's architecture.
It has two different facades, they are both influenced by the gaudinian curve. The main façade is located in Avinguda Diagonal, and it is formal and symmetrical. The back façade of the building, placed in Còrsega street, is more informal and light-hearted.
Unfortunately, this wonderful house is not generally open to visitors.

Modernity Epoch building in Germany
For a really long time Finland hasn't had that many tall buildings. The tallest hotel building (Hotel Torni) in Finland was built and finished in Tampere in 2014 with a height of 88,5 meters and 25 floors.
This building, called Luminary, was finished this year and it reaches to 70,5 meters and 21 floors.
Tall buildings are rare in Finland and it feels like we're not as advanced as other coutries, considering that most (if not all) other Nordic countries have already broken the 100 meter mark with high-rise residential buildings. One reason for this could be that Finland is really sparsely populated and there's no need to build dense living accommodations. The pressure to build city centers is strong though, so more and more high-rise buildings are being built and planned.
We'll probably break our 100 meter mark with a set of 9 planned high-rise buildings in Pasila, Helsinki. The tallest of them will be 180 meters. I'll make sure to visit when they're done. No rush yet though, because construction is set to only begin next year.

Detail of ground level of Keeling House, a modernist apartment block in Bethnal Green, East London. Designed by Denys Lasdun and completed in 1957.
Following my previous post this picture continues along my line of trying to push the strict tenants of the New Topographics movement to maintain objectivity, but add vitality.
And just douse it with natural color.

Catalan Music Palace in Sant Pere Més Alt Street of Barcelona, in Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera neighborhood of the Old Town. The construction of Catalan Music Palace, designed by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, one of the greatest representatives of Catalan modernism together with Antoni Gaudí and Josep Puig i Cadafalch, was carried out between 1905 and 1908 combining very advanced structural solutions with others of Gothic inspiration, and with the integration of all the applied arts: sculpture, mosaic, stained glass and forging. The building was commissioned by the Orfeó Català, founded in 1891 by Lluís Millet and Amadeu Vives, to be its headquarters, and was sponsored by the same Catalan music-loving industrialists and investors who 60 years earlier had financed the construction of the great theater of opera and ballet in Barcelona, the Liceu. In 1997, UNESCO included Catalan Music Palace in the catalog of the Common World Heritage.
