Liquid Stone - Unlocking Gaudi's Secrets

The Sagrada Familia Church in Barcelona, Antoni Gaudi’s most ambitious creation, was begun in the 19th century and is still under construction today. Gaudi spent 43 years of his life working on the church and when he realised it would not be completed within in his lifetime, he left intricate design models encoded with an ingenious geometrical system that would enable future generations to complete it. With his untimely death in 1926 and the destruction of the models during the Spanish Civil War, the task of continuing posed a daunting enigma for those who followed. The challenge to complete the Sagrada Familia Church, according to Gaudi’s vision, is revealed by the architects and artisans who have spent years of their lives immersed in unlocking the secrets of Gaudi’s liquid stone.
