Attic space with rhythmic catenary arches inside La Pedrera

The attic is a forest of catenary arches: efficient compression structures that carry loads with grace.

What to Observe

  • Rhythm: arches pulse along the path.
  • Light: skylights graze brick surfaces.
  • Scale: human proportions are respected.
