the little boards explaining the construction of the hyperbolic paraboloids, helicoids and hyperboloids are much appreciated in there, as is the tensegrity model with hooks, wires and little bags of sand in the crypt (i think?) – it is hard to believe what you are seeing in that astounding building.

This picture does a good job of conveying the immensity of the project, now I want to visit!~

I’ve always wanted to see Gaudi – Thanks for taking me there so eloquently !!

Stunning and the stained-glass is gorgeous! Thanks for showing us Steve.

thanks y’all. I love the resplendent softness of organic form, expressed with cold stone and cut glass.
For some reason, I see a hyperspace bypass… and think of Wade Davis, National Geographic photographer, speaking at TED. He described, with a mythic intensity, his discovery of indigenous cultures sheltered from modernity…and the potent hallucinogen Ayahuasca:
“It’s like being shot out of a rifle barrel lined with baroque paintings and landing in a sea of electricity. It’s a complete dissolution of reality."

Makes me dizzy just trying to figure out all the styles of this building….very creative and a great perspective.

If a broken heart is the price to pay for giving such an amount of grace, beauty and joy to the world, I can’t but think it was worth it.
Thanks to the woman who broke Gaudi’s heart, so that he could free himself from the confinements of personal love and give himself fully to his craft and thus, give his love entirely to the world.

What lens did you use. I’m planing my equipment for an April visit. Great shot. Thanks.
