Holy Family (church (building); Antoni Gaudí (Spanish architect, 1852-1926); begun 1882; expected completio...)

Note: This church occupied much of the career of Gaudí; it was unfinished at his death in 1926. In his drawings and models for the church of the Holy Family (only one transept with one of its four towers was finished at his death), Gaudí equilibrated the cathedral-Gothic style beyond recognition into a complexly symbolic forest of helicoidal piers, hyperboloid vaults and sidewalls, and a hyperbolic paraboloid roof.
