[edit] Casa Milà

Original - The Casa Milà, a 1912 work by Catalán architect Antoni Gaudi, in the Eixample, Barcelona. Gaudí's fascination with trencadís-influenced decoration and curves (predating biomorphism by almost 20 years) can be seen here.

Reason
A beautiful shot with a high technical standard, of a subject by an important architect. The essential features of the building are clearly captured, and elements indicative of Gaudi's style are all prominent (the biomorphic curves and trencadís-like texture, for example), giving it wonderful EV.
