Undulating tiled roof of Casa Batlló with turret cross

1) Dragon Geometry

Scaled undulation via curvature + glaze → iridescent spine under changing sun angles.

2) Chimney Engineering

Feature Function Artistic Layer
Cluster grouping Reduces turbulence Collective sculptural mass
Helical forms Break downdrafts Organic continuity
Glazed ceramic Weather resilience Chromatic integration

3) Turret Cross

Saint George victory accent; vertical counterpoint to horizontal spine rhythm.

4) Photo Strategy

Goal Position Lens
Full spine arc Opposite edge 16–24mm
Chimney texture Lateral close 35–50mm
Turret isolation Low upward 50mm
Mosaic shimmer Slight diagonal 24–35mm

Bottom Line

Roof synthesizes myth narrative + functional ventilation sculpture. Sequence angles for color and form variance.
