The attic

The attic’s structure is totally different to that of the rest of the building, as it is designed as a continuous floor measuring 800 meters square, without columns or walls that interrupt circulation. Gaudí created the attic from 270 arches of different height, width and layout that generate a constant spatial change and which appear to be inspired by the diaphragm of a huge animal or the inside of a cave. (Visual Guide, “The Last Civil Work of Gaudí, La Pedrera, Casa Milŕ”)

Different arches to these:

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/100s f/3.5 at 50.0mm iso6400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I like the way this one suggests that it is part of a dome or half-melon (to get less technical)

Great photos of the skeleton of the roof. The dimensions and the masonry work are amazing. Nice job with these images taken in difficult lighting conditions. "V"
