Caixia Forum Rooftop
It doesn't quite get it, but at least you can see the undulating floor! Crazy! The Caixa Forum, pronounced (in Australian) 'Kayeesha Forum', was built by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch to be a modern and safe factory, in 1909. It had a brief life as a factory engaged in the manufacture of blankets and cotten towels until the Spanish Civil War when it was abandoned. In the late 70's it was restored, and in the 90's became the social and community centre of "la Caixa", the community.
