When Gaudi decided to build the definitive temple he did it conscientiously. His most famous construction is full of allegories, details, symbols and hidden messages. This book deciphers the secrets of the Sagrada Familia.

An illuminating biography of one of the most famous--and most famously unfinished--buildings in the world, the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona. The scaffolding-cloaked spires of Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia, dominate the Barcelona skyline and draw in millions of visitors every year. More than a century after the first stone was laid in 1882, the Sagrada Familia remains unfinished, a testament to Gaudí's quixotic ambition, his religious devotion, and the sensuous eccentricity of his design. It has defied the critics, the penny-pinching accountants, the conservative town-planners, and the devotees of sterile modernism. It has enchanted and frustrated the citizens of Barcelona. And it has passed through the landmark changes of twentieth-century Spain, surviving two World Wars, the ravages of the Spanish Civil War, and the "Hunger Years" of Franco's rule. Gijs van Hensbergen's The Sagrada Familia explores the evolution of this remarkable building, working through the decades right up to the present day before looking beyond to the final stretch of its construction. Rich in detail and vast in scope, this is a revelatory chronicle of an iconic structure, its place in history, and the wild genius that created it.

A study of the Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It charts the styles the architect Gaudi evolved during his career. At crypt level a Gothic design is used, but as the building climbs the structure passes through the Art Noveau stage before becoming surreal.

This catalogue focusses on the dynamic and ongoing construction of Gaudi's The Expiatory Church of the Holy Family (La Sagrada Familia). It documents the cathedral's evolution using handmade drawings, plaster models, digital imaging and 3D modeling and examines the geometries and formal languages that have informed generations of architects and builders
