Towards 2026: completing Gaudi's Sagrada Familia Basilica

[@JBJMJXJ]

This goes beyond architecture, I'm afraid this is the last human wonder we will build, at least for a long time. Great conference, greetings from Brazil.

I've always wanted to see the Sagrada Familia for years. I finally got my wish last week. April 16th 2016. Aprox 15. 45 hrs local time. I'm not a religious person by any means. But architecture has always fascinated me, particularly religious buildings. I walked out from the metro underground, and there it was! I was completely in awe. I remember walking to the front of the original part, and couldn't take my eyes off it. After a minute or so, I genuinely began to feel choked up. I just couldn't ever imagine the complete beautiful feeling that ran through me. I had no idea where it came from and I certainly didn't expect it, but it completely blew me away. A moment I will never forget as long as I live!!!.......... Inside is just breathtaking If there's one place in Barcelona, (Camp Nou on a match day is another), I would strongly recommend the Sagrada Familia. Without a shadow of a doubt! Photos and videos don't do it justice until you've actually stood in front, inside and climbed one of the bell towers .......And I will defy anyone who can say they've seen anything better. If it's the only thing you have time for in Barcelona. Just do it! Shouldn't take more than 10 mins on the Metro from the port if you are on a stop off from a cruise trip for instance. You won't regret it!

The awe you felt toward the building is just a tiny taste of the awe a believer feels toward God which is what the building is designed to evoke. I pray you find the Creator who is infinitely more majestic than his creation.

Thank you for posting this fascinating talk. The incredible cathedral is definitely on my bucket list now.. The story of the conception and build is as inspirational as the actual cathedral.

[@unswbuiltenvironment]

Totally agree with you Emma.

It's actually not a cathedral. What makes a church a cathedral isn't its size, it's the fact that it contains the cathedra (seat) of a bishop.

Fascinating even if some geometrical details are too harsh for me but absolutely mesmerizing to see hat taking place in this superb Cathedral

[@billinds]

absolutely fantastic! i have built the domus model of sagrada familia and the canon papercraft model as well i added my own coloration for the various oval windows wich makes it appear to me a nice addition I have a degree in architectural studies but not the professional degree i am also a stained glass artist though a mere beginner compared to your work. my lack of mathematical knowledge brought my design of my own project a rather complex house built into a hill which resembles an octopus i used the ruled surfaces referred to in your video but the project stalled when i attemped to convert it to cad i am 71 now i would like some assistance in making the domus model more accurate thank you william lindsay
