PA/Justification-building selection

My building is called the Casa Mila Barcelona. Constructed from 1906-1910 by Antoni Gaudi, it is currently located in Barcelona, Spain. Upon seeing this building for the first time, I can see why it would catch any architect's eye. It is very unique in style, wavy, like the ocean, and made of a rough chipped stone. At first site, it is very simple material-wise, but the Gaudi's ideas behind this piece are certainly something worth copying in the future. In researching this piece of architecture, I hope to find out more about the beginning thoughts of Gaudi while he planned this building. Also, in comparison to many square-type hotels, the Casa Mila Barcelona serves as a unique turn from the original.
