Hardcover in slipcase:

An Exhibit at the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture City College of New York, September 2014- May 2015.
Curator: George Ranalli

More than a century after Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí began working on The Expiatory Church of the Holy Family, Sagrada Familia remains under construction. This catalogue focuses on that dynamic and ongoing process and on the successive builders' incorporation of new technologies into the structure´s magnificent design, a living work of performance in itself. It documents the cathedral's evolution using handmade drawings, plaster models, digital imaging and 3D modeling. It examines the geometries and formal languages that have informed generations of architects and builders. At the same time, it shows the integration of traditional craftsmanship with the most
cutting age computer graphics and robotic engineering. Originally situated on the outskirts of the city, La Sagrada Familia today serves as the enduring symbol of Barcelona. But unlike the Eiffel Tower or Brooklyn Bridge, Barcelona's icon is still a work in progress and a magnetic center of spiritual life.
