    Sagrada Família: Visualisation of the Finished Basilica



    Sagrada Família: Visualisation of the Finished Basilica

    How the Sagrada Família in Barcelona, Spain, will look once completed.

    Nearly 150 years after work began, there’s still some way to go for Barcelona’s world-famous Basilica; the Sagrada Família. The plan is for development to culminate by 2026 and this impressive video – combining helicopter footage and computer animation – shows the work planned to take place by then.

    Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Sagrada Família attracts around three million visitors a year with entrance fees covering most of the €25million a year bill for continuing its construction. Gifts from private donors make up the rest.

    Construction work began back in 1882 before Gaudí took over the following year to radically transform the design with his distinctive Gothic and Art Nouveau style.

    He was killed by a tram in 1926 and only lived to see a quarter of his masterpiece finished. The design has been led by a succession of architects since, party contributing to the long and drawn out build programme.

    CAD techniques are now accelerating things, enabling stone to be carved by milling machines directly from digital information as opposed to laborious hand carving.

      Ja falta menys.. pel final splendorós de l' imponent Temple.
      España però segueix.. dale que dale contra el català a l' escola. PER ELLA NO PASA LA VIDA….. "NI ELLA".. Tot és un joc CABUT infantil, i trist.
      GLÒRIA per sempre, sigui donada A JESUCRIST REI❤

      I'm so excited to see this giant church finished. I want to go to Barcelona in 2026 (the time expected to be finished) just to see this giant church finished. Tbh, the architecture is absolutely creative. Gaudi makes very awesome and fascinating architecture that is literal eye candy. The architecture on the facades and inside of the church is just… amazing. It does a very great job telling the story of the life of Christ in the facades and inside of the church.

      This place will be in my bucket list. I hope it'll be in yours too.

      The irony of all of this is that God would be appalled by this gross display of wealth.

      Mathew 19:23-24 — Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

      Putting aside religion, ethnicity, culture, how the hell people would dislike it instead of appreciating the sheer devotion to constructing one of the world's wonder is beyond me.

      It'd be interesting to see a follow up at 10 years since this video was made to see what progress has been made. I read somewhere they're looking at 2026 to be done with it, which would be a phenomenal feat, especially given how so much of the work has been funded by small-dollar donations from the faithful and visitors who have toured the site just to admire its beauty and history, even if they're not Catholic.

      the Sagrada Familia is just a "tourist decoy": there is nothing historic about it other than the inspiration of its forms, copied here and there. It was all built in the modern era, so nothing exceptional from an architectural or engineering or manual "miracles" and also artistically nothing exceptional (for example, inside there will certainly be no mosaics, frescoes, paintings, tapestries, rose windows, altars, tombs, statues, preachers, etc. of some intrinsic and authorial value). From a religious point of view, then….. 🤦‍♂

      I heard that a some point they will have to demolish some of the buildings in front of the cathedral. Apparently in the original plans there was quite a big garden in front of the cathedral, but at some point the municipality sold that ground and building were put there. Now they have to buy these people out in order to finish the project.

      We have watched it's construction for 35 years we first went when it really was a building site. Our last visit was in January and even after numerous visits you still feel so privileged and humble.
