Casa Milà/La Pedrera

La Pedrera, Architecture and History

Carlos Flores, Josep Maria Huertas. Foreword Daniel Giralt-Miracle

The book presents two aspects of the history of the building, the architectural and the social. Architectural historian Carlos Flores has has an admirable capacity for strictly architectural analysis and an admirable facility for making the architectonic subjects he deals with comprehensible and appealing. With regard to the previously unwritten social history of the Casa Milà, of the events — joyful and sombre, glorious and inglorious — undergone by the building Josep Maria Huertas manages to find the data and the facts that explain most clearly the life and times of an individual, a neighbourhood or an institution. The book is completed with plans of the building — unpublished until now — and a selection of large-scale photographs.
