About Originally designed by Antoni Gaudí (1852 – 1926), who worked on the project for over 40 years, devoting the last 15 years of his life entirely to the endeavor, the project is scheduled to be completed in 2026. On the subject of the extremely long construction period, Gaudí is said to have remarked, "My client is not in a hurry." After Gaudí's death in 1926, work continued under the direction of Domènech Sugranyes until interrupted by the Spanish Civil War in 1936.

Parts of the unfinished church and Gaudí's models and workshop were destroyed during the war by Catalan anarchists. The present design is based on reconstructed versions of the lost plans as well as on modern adaptations. Since 1940 the architects Francesc Quintana, Isidre Puig Boada, Lluís Bonet i Gari and Francesc Cardoner have carried on the work. The current director and son of Lluís Bonet, Jordi Bonet i Armengol, has been introducing computers into the design and construction process since the 1980s. Mark Burry of New Zealand serves as Executive Architect and Researcher. Sculptures by J. Busquets, Etsuro Sotoo and the controversial Josep Subirachs decorate the fantastical façades.

If you ever get the chance to see this, please go
and watch the beauty of this style, Gaudí was a
talent just like Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci,
how wonderful you recognise some detail her dear
Saad, its overwhelming with details all over the
place! Enjoy your evening, hugs Jen

I think I had to put the info as otherwise no one would recognise this maybe:) But of course its
more about the pic then the what and where:))
The cathedral is something one has to see once in
a lifetime, just like the Vatican, just wonderful!
Wishing you a good night sleep, big hugs, Jen
