Ok, I just saw this on the news.

Somebody (Toni Meca) has spent the last 7 years designing a viurtual program of the Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona completed Cool

It seems it will be up for sale on CD at his site ( www.tmdreams.com/men_eng.htm ) and if it is as cool as the preview I saw on the news, I am buying it Big Grin

It will be the only way for me (and probably my children and grandchildren) to see it completed Eeker

Saludos,

Oh, yeah! I know that there are plenty of diagrams in the museum at the site; must be he got permission to "virtually complete" that fabulous temple.

This is not meant to be disappointing, but just give you a different perspective. The CD thing is cool... but it I doubt that it will be able to really show what the cathedral will look like when its finished- even if Gaudi's original plans were used!

The Sagrada Familia is built in a pretty true gothic style. Which means... it will NEVER be completed! ;P This style of architecture is meant to continuously be built, changed, improved upon.. and just when it looks like its finished, repairs will need to be made, meaning that things will be changed and improved upon some more!

Food for thought!

I agree with you espe3 but my basic point is that this is as close as we will ever get to seeing it even remotely finished.
