Sagrada+Familia

On the subject of the extremely long construction period, Gaudí is said to have remarked, "My client is not in a hurry." [|[15]] When Gaudí died in 1926, the basilica was between 15 and 25 per cent complete. [|[9]] [|[16]] After Gaudí's death, work continued under the direction of ** [|Domènec Sugrañes i Gras] ** until interrupted by the [|Spanish Civil War] in 1936. Parts of the unfinished basilica and Gaudí's models and workshop were destroyed during the war by [|Catalan anarchists]. The present design is based on reconstructed versions of the lost plans as well as on modern adaptations. Since 1940 the architects ** [|Francesc Quintana], [|Isidre Puig Boada] , [|Lluís Bonet i Gari] ** and ** [|Francesc Cardoner]  ** have carried on the work. The illumination was designed by ** [|Carles Buigas] ****.** The current director and son of Lluís Bonet, ** [|Jordi Bonet i Armengol]  ****,** has been introducing computers into the design and construction process since the 1980s. ** [|Mark Burry] ** of New Zealand serves as Executive Architect and Researcher. Sculptures by [|J. Busquets], [|Etsuro Sotoo] and the controversial [|Josep Subirachs] decorate the fantastical façades. .........................................................................................................................................................................................................
