Antoni Gaudí decided to design the Sagrada Familia, like most of his works, with curved lines. According to Gaudí, straight lines did not exist in the Nature, and this is why the temple –which reflects the Nature, life and death- should not be constructed with straight lines. As a symbol of Nature, the columns of the Sagrada Famlia are built in a tree-shape to support the whole monument.Architecture design before anyone’s time was outstanding.

Spiraling out of control.
The construction of the Sagrada Familia started in 1882 and is supposed to be finished in 2026 or 2028 for the Gaudí’s centenary. Historically, the building of the Gaudí’s masterpiece has taken longer than the construction of the Great Pyramids. Indeed, the pyramids of Goza had taken 20 years to be built while the Sagrada Familia will take between 144 and 146 years to be completed.
