For the lay person, Antoni Gaudí is known as the creator
of fairy-tale architecture, which not only fascinates in
its completed form, but also as a fragment, like his best
known work, the church of Sagrada Família in Barcelona,
which attracts countless visitors every year. But beyond all
of the architectonic magic of his building there is a clear
geometric code, the expression of the convincing technical
modernity of Gaudí’s buildings. The Australian Mark Burry
converted the over 100 year old design ideas of Gaudí into
three-dimensional datasets. They are today the basis for the
completion of the Sagrada Família. This book looks behind
the curtain of Gaudí’s constructive genius and presents one
of the most unusual building projects of today.
