La Sagrada Familia Church

Antoni Gaudí’s La Sagrada Familia church, in Barcelona, is finally due for completion in 2026, one hundred years after his death. Gaudí’s expressive and flowing vision has been an adventure in structural design and construction technology ever since he started work on the project in 1883.  

In 2014, with the building 60% complete, the Sagrada Familia Foundation approached Arup to help with the remaining structural design, particularly how to produce the remaining six towers, dedicated to the Four Evangelists, The Mother of God  (Mare de Deu) and Jesus Christ. 

Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain itself because painbut because occasionally circumstances occur which toil and pain can procure some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise
