Casa Milà, better known as La Pedrera (Catalan for 'The Quarry'), is large home designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built between 1905 and 1912. Gaudí believed even a building's functional elements should be aesthetically pleasing. The sculptural forms you see here are actually a ventilator shaft, a chimney stack, and a stairway enclosure. Casa Milà is located in the center of Barcelona, Spain.
