Businesses the style of the sagata Familia is variously likened to Spanish late Gothic Catalan modernism or art nuuvo while the Sagrada Familia Falls within the art Novo period Nicholas pevner points out that along with Charles reny Macintosh in go GOI carried the art Nuvo style far beyond its usual application as a surface

Decoration while never a cathedral the Sada Familia was planned from the outset to be a large building comparable in size to a cathedral its ground plan has obvious links to earlier Spanish Cathedrals such as borgos Cathedral Leon Cathedral and civil cathedral in common with Catalan and many other European Gothic Cathedral

The Sada Familia is short in comparison to its width and has a great complexity of Parts which include double Isles an ambulatory with a chevet of seven abidal chapels a multitude of Steeples and three portals each widely different in structure as well as ornament where it is common for

Cathedrals in Spain to be surrounded by numerous chapels and ecclesiastical buildings the planet of the Sada Familia has an unusual feature a covered Passage or cloer which forms a rectangle enclosing the church and passing through the norx of each of its three portals with this peculiarity aside the plan

Influenced by vr’s Crypt barely hints at the complexity of Go’s design or its deviations from traditional Church architecture there are no exact right angles to be seen inside or outside the church and few straight lines in the design spires go these original design calls for a total of 18 spires

Representing in ascending order of height the 12 apostles the Virgin Mary the four evangelists and tallest of all Jesus Christ 11 spires have been built as of 2022 corresponding to four Apostles at the Nativity facade and four Apostles at the passion facade two of the evangelists Luke and Mark and the Virgin

Mary according to the 2005 Works report of the Project’s official website drawings signed by GOI and recently found in the municipal archives indicate that the Spire of the Virgin was in fact intended by GOI to be shorter than those of the evangelists the Spire height will follow Go’s intention which according to

The report will work with the existing Foundation the evangelist’s spires will be surmounted by sculptures of their traditional symbols a winged bull St Luke a winged man St Matthew an Eagle St John and a winged lion St Mark the central Spire of Jesus Christ is to be

Surmounted by a giant Cross its total height 172.5 M 566 ft will be less than that of manui Hill in Barcelona as GOI believed that his creation should not surpass Gods the lower spires are surmounted by communion hosts with sheaves of Wheat and chales with Bunches of grapes representing the Eucharist citation

Needed plans call for Tubular Bells to be placed within the spires driven by the force of the wind and driving sound down into the interior of the church GOI performed acoustic studies to achieve the appropriate acoustic results inside the temple however only one Bell is currently in

Place the completion of the spires will make Sagrada Familia the tallest Church building in the world 11 M taller than the current record holder M Minster which is 161.5 M 530 ft at its highest point the construction makes use of post tension Stone panels which are pre-assembled before incorporation into

The main structure using this method has significant structural and operational benefits facades the church is designed to have three grand facades the nativity facade to the east the passion facade to the west and the glory facade to the South the Nativity facade was built before work was interrupted in 1935 and

Bears the most direct GOI influence the passion facad was built according to the design that GOI created in 1917 the construction began in 1954 and the Steeples built over the elliptical plan were finished in 1976 it is especially striking for its spare gaunt tormented characters including emaciated figures of Christ

Being scourged at the pillar and Christ on the cross these controversial designs are the work of Joseph Maria sax the glory facade on which construction began in 2002 will be the largest and most Monumental of the three and will represent one’s Ascension to God it will also depict various such as

Hell purgatory and will include elements such as the seven deadly sins and the Seven Heavenly virtues Nativity facade constructed between 1893 and 1936 the Nativity facade was the first facade to be completed dedicated to the birth of Jesus it is decorated with scenes reminiscent of Elements of Life characteristic of Go’s naturalistic

Style the sculptures are ornately arranged and and decorated with scenes and images from nature each assemble in its own manner for instance the three porticos are separated by two large columns and at the base of each lies a turtle or a tortoise in contrast to the figures of turtles and their symbolism

Two chameleons can be found at either side of the facade and are symbolic of change the facade faces the Rising Sun to the Northeast a symbol for the birth of Christ it is divided into three porticos Each of which represents a theological virtue hope faith and

Charity the Tree of Life rises above the door of Jesus in the Portico of Charity four Steeples complete the facade and are each dedicated to a Saint mathas Barnabas Jude the Apostle and Simon the Zealot originally go the intended for this facade to be polychromed for each

Archival to be painted with a wide array of colors he wanted every statue and figure to be painted in this way the figures of humans would appear as much alive as the figures of plants and animals GOI chose this facade to embody the structure and decoration of the

Whole church he was well aware that he would not finish the church and that he would need to set an artistic and Architectural example for others to follow passion facade in contrast to the highly decorated Nativity facade the passion facade is AER plain and simple with ample bare Stone and is carved with

Harsh straight lines to resemble the bones of a skeleton dedicated to The Passion of Christ The Suffering of Jesus during his crucifixion the facade was intended to portray the sins of man construction began in 1954 following the drawings and instructions left by GOI for future Architects and sculptors the Steeples were completed in

1976 and in 1987 a team of sculptors headed by Joseph Maria subur began work sculpting the various scenes and details of the facade they aimed to give a rigid angular form to provoke a dramatic effect GOI intended for this facade to strike fear into the onlooker he wanted

To break arcs and cut columns and to use the effect of Kiara skuro dark angular Shadows contrasted by harsh rigid light to further show the severity and brutality of Christ’s sacrifice facing the Setting Sun indicative and symbolic of the death of Christ the passion facade is supported by six large and inclined columns

Designed to resemble strained muscles above there is a paramal pediment made up of 18 bone-shaped columns which culminate in a large cross with a crown of thorns each of the four Steeples is is dedicated to an apostle James Thomas Phillip and Bartholomew and like the Nativity facade there are three porticos

Each representing the theological virtues though in a much different light the scenes sculpted into the facade may be divided into three levels which Ascend in an S form and reproduce the Stations of the Cross via Cruis of Christ the lowest level depicts scenes from Jesus last night before the

Crucifixion including the Last Supper kiss of Judas eomo and the Sanhedrin trial of Jesus the middle level portrays the calvary or golgatha of Christ and includes the three Marys St Long ginus St Veronica and a hollowface illusion of Christ on the veil of Veronica in the third and final level the death burial

And the resurrection of Christ can be seen a bronze figure situated on a bridge Bridge creating a link between the Steeples of St Bartholomew and St Thomas represents the Ascension of Jesus Glory facade the largest and most striking of the facades will be the glory facade on which construction began

In 2002 it will be the Principal facade and will offer access to the central Nave dedicated to the celestial Glory of Jesus it represents the road to God Death final judgment and Glory while hell is left for those who deviate from God’s will aware that he would not live long

Enough to see this facade completed B they made a model which was demolished in 1936 whose original fragments were used as the basis for the development of the design for the facade the completion of this facade may require the partial demolition of the block with buildings across the career de mayorca the

Decision should be proposed in May 2020 3 to reach the glory Portico the large staircase will lead over the underground passage built over corer de mayorca with the decoration representing hell and vice on other projects career de mayorca will have to go underground it will be decorated with demons Idols false gods

Heresy and schisms Etc purgatory and death will also be depicted the latter using tombs along the ground the Portico will have seven large columns dedicated to gifts of the holy spirit at the base of the columns there will be representations of the seven deadly sins and at the top the seven Heavenly

Virtues interior the church plan is that of a Latin cross with five aisles the central Nave vaults reach 45 M 148 ft while the side Nave vaults reach 30 m 98 ft the transcept has three aisles The Columns are on a 7.5 M 25 ft grid however The Columns of the apps resting

On Del vr’s Foundation do not adhere to the grid requiring a section of columns of the ambulatory to transition to the grid thus creating a horseshoe pattern to the layout of those columns The Crossing rests on the four Central Columns of poery supporting a great hyperboloid surrounded by two rings of 12

Hyperboloids the central Vault reaches 60 M 200 ft the apps is capped by a hyperboloid vault reaching 75 M 246 ft go the intended that a visitor standing at the main entrance be able to see the vaults of the Nave Crossing and apps thus the graduated increase in Vault

Loft The Columns of the Interior are a unique design besides branching to support report their load their everchanging surfaces are the result of the intersection of various geometric forms the simplest example is that of a square base evolving into an octagon as the column Rises then a 16-sided form

And eventually to a circle this effect is the result of a three-dimensional intersection of helicoidal columns for example a square crosssection column twisting clockwise and a similar one twisting counterclockwise essentially none of the Interior surfaces are flat the ornamentation is comprehensive and Rich consisting in large part of abstract

Shapes which combine smooth curves and Jagged points even detail level works such as the iron railings for balconies and stairways are full of curvaceous elaboration organ in 2010 an organ was installed in the Chanel by the Blanca Fort orgers Dem monserat organ Builders the instrument has 26 stops

1,492 pipes on two manuals and a pedal board to overcome the unique acoustical challenges posed by the church’s architecture and vast size several additional organs will be installed at various points within the building these instruments will be playable separately and simultaneously yielding an organ of some 8,000 pipes when

Completed geometric details the Ste on the Nativity facade are crowned with geometrically shaped tops that are reminiscent of cubism they were finished around 1930 and the intricate decoration is contemporary to the style of art Novo but Go’s Unique Style Drew primarily from nature not other artists or Architects and resists

Categorization GOI used hyperboloid structures in later designs of the Sagrada Familia however there are a few places on the Nativity for faade a design not equated with Go’s ruled surface design where the hyperboloid crops up for example all around the scene with the Pelican there are numerous examples there is a hyperboloid

Adding structural stability to the cypress tree by connecting it to the bridge finally The Bishop’s miter spires are capped with hyperboloid structures in his later designs ruled surfaces are prominent in the naves vaults and windows and the surface of the passion facade symbolism themes throughout the decoration include words from the

Liturgy the Steeples are decorated with words such as hosana exelis and Sanctus the great doors of the passion facade reproduce excerpts of the passion of Jesus from the New Testament in various languages mainly Catalan and the glory facade is to be decorated with the words from the Apostles Creed while its main

Door reproduce the entire Lord Lord’s Prayer in Catalan surrounded by multiple variations of give us this day our daily bread in other languages the three entrances symbolize the three virtues faith hope and love each of them is also dedicated to a part of Christ’s life the Nativity facade is

The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, shortened as the Sagrada Família, is an unfinished church in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It is the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world. Designed by architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), his work on Sagrada Família is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On 7 November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica.

On 19 March 1882, construction of the Sagrada Família began under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, when Villar resigned, Gaudí took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is buried in the church’s crypt. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete.

Relying solely on private donations, the Sagrada Família’s construction progressed slowly and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. In July 1936, anarchists from the FAI set fire to the crypt and broke their way into the workshop, partially destroying Gaudí’s original plans. In 1939, Francesc de Paula Quintana took over site management, which was able to go on due to the material that was saved from Gaudí’s workshop and that was reconstructed from published plans and photographs.
