Students from Escola Vedruna Vilafranca recently visited La Pedrera in Barcelona to explore Gaudí's architecture, while the report also highlighted details of the historic Artemis 2 mission heading towards the Moon.

The visit to Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera, allowed students from Escola Vedruna Vilafranca to discover the genius of architect Antoni Gaudí. The building stands out for being a house without straight lines, featuring organic forms that evoke nature, light-filled inner courtyards, and an iconic rooftop with chimneys resembling warriors.

Artemis 2 will be a milestone, as it will include the first woman and the first black person to travel so close to our satellite.

Beyond terrestrial architecture, the article also focused on the sky, detailing the upcoming Artemis 2 mission. This historic mission, scheduled for 2026, will send four astronauts to travel to the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft and the SLS rocket.
The mission will be historic: it will carry the first woman and the first black person to travel so close to our satellite. Although they will not land, the crew will complete a full loop around the Moon to prepare for future missions that do plan for lunar landing.
Finally, the informational piece concluded with a book recommendation that came from the bookstore Pati de Llibres, located in Sant Cugat del Vallès.
