from the outside, it looks exactly like its name.
like a huge stone quarry.
inside, the architechtual style is pretty gaudi-esque.
apartments are arranged in a circular arrangement with the centre of the whole buidling hollow to allow as much natural light in as possible.
delightful use of color and contours make the inside rather like a fantasy-land.
stark contrast to its solemn, bare and cold facade.
even the staircase uses stone-like columns.

La Pedrera's highlight is definitely its rooftop.
Gaudi has desgined this with the idea that it provides a good space for the residents to mix, hold functions and enjoy the weather abit.
the steps break the rooftop to 7 different heights. very interesting.
and u get a good view of central Barcelona from here.
La Pedrera is on Passeig de Gracia (famous shopping street) after all! :)
the twisting shapes are meant to resemble rising bellowing smoke. pretty!
Parc guell next. how come we dont have such a recreational space in singapore!?
*wail*
