ANTONIO GAUDI, BY GEORGE R. COLLINS |
|
"Plate 89. Roof of the Casa Mila, Barcelona. The heavy-lidded windows admit light to the inside of the attic vaults. Unlike most of Gaudi's work, the ceramic here is in monochrome of grey, white or tan." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 90. Ventilator cover on the Casa Mila roof." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 91. Chimneys of the Casa Mila." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 92. One of the two entrance courts of the Casa Mila, 1905-19. Facing us is the grand stairway to the owner's apartment. Beneath us is a subterranean garage." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 93. An interior of the Casa Mila of Barcelona in the lush days. Gaudi obviously did not decorate this suite, however, this photograph gives some idea of the openness of his planning." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 94. The attic (desvan) of the Casa Mila before it was split up into duplex apartments (1954). Here are the famous Catalan arches and vaults of tiles laid edge to edge, precursors of our contemporary 'egg-shell' concrete vaulting." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
