Animation shows completion of Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Família

The completion of Art Nouveau architect Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Família basilica in Barcelona is simulated in this movie released to show the final stages of construction anticipated before 2026, 100 years after the death of the architect.
The one-minute video published on the Sagrada Familia Foundation's KZbin channel shows each of the stages left and how the basilica will look when completed.
It combines helicopter footage of the current building with computer-animated renders to show spires, a central cupola and other remaining structures rise from nothing.
The Sagrada Familia Foundation has also published six one-minute movies showing 3D animations of the completion dates for each phase, including the Sagristia in 2015, Torre de Maria in 2018 and Torre de Jesus in 2020.
When the basilica is finished it will have 18 towers dedicated to different religious figures, of various heights to reflect their hierarchy. There are eight towers completed so far.

I'm not religious in any way but I went to see the Sagrada Familia in 2009 and when it is completed, inside and out, it will probably be the most beautiful building in the world. I was speechless when I saw the internal columns that looks like a forest of trees holding up the roof and central towers. The beautiful coloured glass windows letting sunlight beam down amongst the "branches" is just astounding . I'm hoping I live ling enough to go back and see it completed.

[@dianavance1137]

I saw something totally different. I see it as an assault on the eye. It looks like darts were placed at the front of the structure. Are these the fiery darts aimed at the LORD by satan? Ephesians 6:16 1611KJB

[@WildPhotoShooter]

@@dianavance1137 You will be antagonising the faithful with claims like "satans darts". As I said, I'm not religious in any way, religion was created by men because we fear death and have an ego beyond their knowledge, but this building is truly astounding and very very beautiful.

[@Yo19724]

I felt the same. I am not religious too, but Sagrada Familia was the most impressive church I have ever seen. Going inside makes my heart feel free, it lifted my soul. It maked my happy and touched my heart like no church before. I felt like I was walking in a forrest. No bad feeling like in the other dark churches. Gaudí designed a church for feeling free and loved. Believe should be like this, not make you feel like a sinner. I hope I will be able to see it again, when it is ready.

What is the hold up? Thanks for the info Abner, no insults required! Unlike some.😳

[@Nightskyline1]

Because the Sagrada Familia is only maintained with aims and donations, which makes it take much longer to build

[@1Kent]

@@Nightskyline1 "Familia"! Are they pocketing most of the donations?

[@Nightskyline1]

@@1Kent i don't have just a one answer for you but some of the reasons why it has taken so long are: It's utilizing artisan techniques not used on modern buildings. Master stone masons, master stone carvers, master glassblowers, etc are a rare breed in the 21st century. The entire structure is essentially handcrafted. But It's being built relatively rapidly now, and for the past 30 years. But because everything is handcrafted, work is slow. But prior to that: Spain had a very bloody civil war in the 1930s, and was then ruled by an oppressive fascist until 1972, and he didn't care to work on the Sagrada Famiglia so there was a huge chunk of time when no work was done. + what i said in a previous post. Also, corruption could be one of the reasons too, but i'm not the one to say anything on that subject.

[@1Kent]

@@Nightskyline1 well I suppose what matters is the work has resumed! I am aware of the Civil War and the resulting oppression but 1972 was a very long time ago.

[@Nightskyline1]

@@1Kent Yes, it was a long time ago. But like i said they have been building it faster the last 30 years. And i'm sure they don't mind it taking so long since it makes it intresting to people that the construction has taken so long and still continues, but who knows :)

[@WildPhotoShooter]

There is a series of TV programmes called "the worlds largest buildings" the Sagrada Familia is included in the series. The building techniques they are using now is so fast because they are using thinner, lighter stressed stone and bolting it all together. It has been found that the foundations are not strong enough to take the weight of traditional building methods , namely the two metre thick walls in the towers needed to counteract wind sheer.

La primera piedra se colocó en 1872 y en fotografías de 1878, sólo 6 años después se aprecia un avance cercano a la mitad de la obra, ésto por si sólo evidencia que estamos ante la reconstrucción de una edificación preexistente construida con tecnología inexistente en tiempo de Gaudí por lo que se nota claramente la diferencia entre lo que estaba ya construido en las fotografías de 1878 y lo que se construyó de ahí en adelante y hoy 130 años después aún no se termina, será que si la tecnología no hubiese avanzado nada desde que vivió Gaudí hasta hoy la obra estaría terminada hace muchísimos años ???, la falacia de que se perdió el arte y oficio de la talla de la piedra es ridícula, hoy no tenemos manera alguna de obtener los acabados de la construcción original; el edificio original o lo que quedaba de él estaba abandonado y fué usurpado por la historia encargando a Gaudí su reconstrucción al igual que el resto de su arquitectura imposible que carece de registro fotografico durante su cobtruccion.
