casa batlló

casa batlló is a historic landmark in barcelona, refurbished by antoni gaudí between 1904 and 1906. the architect completely changed the facade, redistributing the internal partitioning, expanding the lightwell and converting the inside into a true work of art. besides its artistic value, the building is also extremely functional, much more characteristic of modern times than of the past. some even see elements that herald the architectural trends of the late 20th century.
