	Gaudi and Barcelona Club
		Casa Calvet is situated at 48 Calle Caspe in Barcelona, and consists of a basement, first floor, four stories, and a typically Catalonian, flat terrace on the roof.
		According to César Martinell, the textile-fabricators, Sons of Pedro Mártir Calvet, commissioned Antonio Gaudí to design the building, basing their decision on "the guarantee of success and modernity that Gaudí represented", and also perhaps influenced by the affinity of political ideas with Eduard Calvet, who was a militant "Catalanista" during the Solidaritat Catalana.
		In answer to this, Gaudí returned the plans with a red line drawn across them, cutting the coronation of the facade to the regulation height, and threatening that if he was not allowed to enact his initial plans, the building would end up appearing sharply interrupted.

	Casa Calvet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Casa Calvet is a building, designed by Antoni Gaudí for a textile manufacturer which served as both a commercial property (in the basement and on the ground floor) and a residence.
		Lluís Permanyer claims that "the gallery at ground level is the facade's most outstanding feature, a daring combination of wrought iron and stone in which decorative historical elements such as a cypress, an olive tree, horns of plenty, and the Catalan coat of arms can be discerned"
		Three sculpted heads at the top also allude to the owner: One is Sant Pere Màrtir Calvet i Carbonell (the owner's father) and two are patron saints of Vilassar, Andreu Calvet's home town.

		The wavy facade of Casa Mila is accented by wrought iron balconies.

	Gaudí: Bio
		Examples of his Mudéjar style are the Casa Vicens (1878-80) and "El Capricho" (1883-85) and the Güell Estate and Güell Palace of the later 1880s, all but "El Capricho" located in Barcelona.
		Gaudí applied his equilibrated system to two multistoried Barcelona apartment buildings: the Casa Batlló (1904-06), a renovation that incorporated new equilibrated elements, notably the facade; and the Casa Milá (1905-10), the several floors of which are structured like clusters of tile lily pads with steel-beam veins.
		As was so often his practice, he designed the two buildings, in their shapes and surfaces, as metaphors of the mountainous and maritime character of Catalonia.

		Although his standing was high in Barcelona by 1911, many people thought Gaudí was mad, but they understood what motivated him : his obsession with religion,and his dedication to Catalan nationalism.
		He was appreciated for the fact that he tried to give Barcelona its own identity, but nevertheless the buildings like Palau Guell, Casa Batllo,Casa Mila and the stylistic exaggerations of the Sagrada Familia made him more and more vulnerable to public abuse.
		The furniture he designed for this house is displayed at Casa Gaudí in Parc Guell.

		Gaudí no concibió la casa como una simple casa de viviendas, si no que hizo una obra total que desbordaba la arquitectura y incidía en la escultura.
		Una innovación del arquitecto es la que se denomina superficie libre: no hay paredes maestras o muros de carga, la función de soporte la hacen los pilares (de hierro por dentro) y los tabiques, lo que permite modificar el espacio según las necesidades.
		Gaudí decía que en un futuro la casa podría convertirse en un hotel, por ejemplo.
