What a wonderful movie this is. It is wonderful to see how a team of people, driven by ever stronger interest, are working together to solve again the solutions Gaudi solved in his time. With full respect for the extraordinary findings, ideas and religious compassion of the old master they use new techniques of aircraft-technology, computer simulations of ideas Gaudi developed in his spacial imagination and made visual in models to communicate his solutions. It is wonderful to see how these people are not working on their own interest and benefit but are outside themselves into the imagination and there finding each other. It is a beautiful miracle and example of a right way of living outside yourselves; see them gloom and sparkle driver by the eager to know, no matter what age. What a responsibility they show, knowing they are not able to work exactly as Gaudi would have done but with full respect for his directions and thoughts translating to new techniques. Well to me it is an inspiring documentary. I have been there a few times and seen several works of Gaudi and I sure hope to reach the age of 80 to see the Sagrada Familia completed in 2026.

An in depth study of Gaudi's masterpiece, Sangrada Familia, in Barcelona. Interviews with all those involved with the construction, planning and evolution of Gaudi's architectural wonder are here in this documentary. If you are interested in architecture, this is a must see. Gaudi's unique style of design breathes life into the Spanish community. A style of de constructionism, pushing the bounds of geometry. Adding, or more like subtracting shapes within surfaces. Parallel lines curved around columns are characteristics of Gaudi's mastery. The results are astounding when viewed up close and personal. Mark Burry's work as the leading architect in the continuing construction of Sangrada Famila enlightens us to Gaudi's world and unlocks the secrets of Gaudi's genius. If you enjoy the world of architecture, a fan of Gaudi or not, you will enjoy this presentation.
