Description

This poster of the Casa Milà, a copy of the original by Hiroya Tanaka, offers a unique, three-dimensional view of Gaudí’s masterpiece. Unlike a frontal view, this isometric perspective allows us to appreciate the Casa Milà in its entirety, highlighting the fluidity of its forms and the harmony between its different elements, from the facade to the rooftop.
The facade, with its undulations and lack of straight lines, is presented to us with a depth and movement that a flat view could not capture. The drawing highlights how each window and balcony, with their intricate wrought iron designs, are integrated into the surface of the stone, as if sprouting from the quarry itself. The rooftop, an iconic space in Gaudí’s architecture, is shown in fascinating detail. The chimneys, which stand like mythological warriors or guardians, and the openings that allow light to enter, are seen in their spatial context, creating a surreal landscape that invites the imagination. The rooftop is perceived as an organic, sinuous surface, merging with the rest of the building.
As a whole, this drawing is not just an architectural plan; it is a work of art in itself. It is a manifestation of Gaudi’s vision, a representation of how nature, light and fantasy come together to create a masterpiece of Modernism. In Hiroya Tanaka’s stroke, Casa Milà reveals its soul: a building that transcends its function to become a visual story, a monument to creativity and imagination that has endured through time.
