Sagrada Família, Barcelona, Spain

1882 · Barcelona, Spain

Sagrada Família

Barcelona’s basilica has remained under construction since 1882. Gaudí devoted his later life to it, while later teams continue the work.

The date 1882 marks the start of construction, while facades and towers belong to different periods and teams.

Natural forms, hanging-model structural thinking, light, and symbolism reinterpret the Gothic stone tradition.

Tourism, conservation, and new construction technologies coexist on this active building site.
