The way he thinked architecture is really amazing. You can clearly see bones in the columns of the window, the shapes are very organic and the color of the material itself is bone-y.
If you visit Casa Mila, in the attic there is an exhibition about the way he perceived architecture and how he elaborated elements from nature: the body of a snake became the scruture of the underroof, a leaf or a conshell are pattern for the his building, as well as animals in general (the turtle in Casa Battlo is an example).
If you visit Casa Battlo, you can clearly see that he thinked about everything: the colors, the perception of them , details along the stairs, the door, the mechanism for opening the windows shown in the picture. So much to learn from his works.
