Little background information about Sagrada Familia architecture

Antoni Gaudí had a vision about Sagrada Familia architecture in the lines of any Byzantine and Gothic places of worship, in order to give an Evangelists message through architecture. It was therefore so planned that its 18 towers will signify the Apostles, the Gospels, the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. It will symbolize a rise of God. Gaudí also planned the Basilica so that the reflected sunlight will illuminate different aspects of the life of Christ.

Antoni Gaudí always believed that any man-made structures must never upstage God’s creations. Therefore, Sagrada Familia is 1 meter shorter as compared to Montjuïc Hill, which is the Barcelona’s highest point. After his departure, his plaster models created by him showed craftsmen the way. The geometrical sense which was imparted to this mega structure refers to themes of Cubist and Art-Nouveau. One can notice an apparent nature’s influence in the Sagrada Familia’s architecture.
