Barcelona, Spain - The temple of the Gaudi

The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, often simply called the Sagrada Família, is a massive Roman Catholic church under construction in Barcelona Catalonia, Spain. Construction began in year 1882 and continues to this day.

The original designer is Antoni Gaudi. He is a genius in construction and design. Unfortunately, he was die in an accident. He worked on the project for over 40 years, devoting the last 15 years of his life entirely to the endeavor, the project is scheduled to be completed in 2026.

There's total 18 towers on it. Try to look forward all the interior design, symbolism and the geometric of the building, I just can describe by "amazing". It's impossible design by a human, except Gaudi. He's such a genius.

Beside the temple, there has many Gaudi's production:


This is Santiago Calatrava, The Path Terminal NYC.










This is an apartment building, commissioned by the developer Pere Milá i Camps and constructed from the ground up from 1906 to 1910

My Comment: He was such a genius in Art for the design, and also the logical thinker in Construction. Conclusion is, he's a left + right brainier. And I was sharing him building during my Managerial Communication class..Antoni Gaudi - My favourite artist.
