Casa Mila by Harry

Today we went to Casa Mila, designed by Antoni Gaudi. Another name for Casa Mila is La Pedrera (the stone quarry). I thought the rooftop looked like Tatooine. Tatooine is a fictional planet in the Star Wars series. What do you think of this amazing rooftop?

  4. I have a confession to make....I had no idea what Tatooine was! I had to google it and I can now agree with you! The sandy color and mix of curves and shadows - one minute I think it looks fun and friendly and then dark and defensive. The mosaic behind you and your mom always makes me think of giant eggshells - like a huge bird has laid enormous eggs and someone has broken their shells and glued them on, one by one. Gaudi is one of my favorite artists - next to Kandinsky and Hundertwasser (who reminds me a lot of Gaudi). Please say hi from me to Gaudi's giant lizard when you meet him :)
