The name "Pedrera" was derived from "Casa Milá, La Pedrera", a building designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí.
Gaudí (1852-1926) lived and worked in Barcelona during the city's modernista period. Possessing a genius for innovative design, he was able to redefine the stylistic boundaries of functional architecture.
Casa Milá is a superb example of Gaudí's imaginative approach to design. With its undulating facade and unconventional mixture of surface textures, the composition is definitively art nouveau.
Every detail of Casa Milá enriches the structure as a whole, making it more of a functional sculpture than an apartment building.
