Much of Antoni Gaudí’s career was occupied with the construction of the Sagrada Família in Barcelona. Although it was unfinished at his death in 1926, it already showed his unique structural system that came to be called equilibrated, meaning the framework of the building is designed to stand on its own without internal bracing, external buttressing, or the like. This unusual construction combined with intricate Christian storytelling and lush textures makes the basilica both an artistic and technical achievement. Gaudí’s other notable projects included Park Güell, Casa Milà, and Casa Batlló, all in Barcelona.
