#006 La Sagrada Familia
<p>This week's episode of Caffeinated Deep Dives, we explore La Sagrada Familia, the longest-running construction project in the world, spanning over 140 years. Started in 1883 by Antoni Gaudí, the basilica embodies his vision of creating "the Bible in stone" through revolutionary architectural techniques inspired by natural forms. Despite numerous historical challenges and Gaudí's death in 1926, the project continues today, funded by tourism and executed using modern technology that validates Gaudí's original designs.</p><br><p>Timestamps:</p><p>00:00 - Intro</p><p>05:08 - La Sagrada Familia Overview</p><p>14:42 - Gaudí's Early Life</p><p>26:26 - The Start of La Sagrada Familia</p><p>29:05 - Gaudi Takes Over the Project</p><p>33:32 - Gaudi's Unique Approach and Influences</p><p>35:49 - Gaudi's bringing his vision for La Sagrada Familia to life</p><p>43:15 - Political Upheaval and Its Impact</p><p>44:52 - Gaudi's Dedication and Lifestyle</p><p>46:58 - Struggle of La Sagrada Familia after Gaudi's death</p><p>48:53 - Revival of La Sagrada Familia</p><p>51:40 - Modern construction and Legacy</p><p>56:07 - Award Section</p><br><p><a href="https://a.co/d/4qf5UWn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Sagrada Familia: Gaudí's Heaven on Earth</a> (Gijs van Hensbergen)</p><br><p>Notable Quotes:</p><p>"My client [referring to God] is not in a hurry." - Antoni Gaudí</p><p>"After decades, I concluded I needed someone to cut me, to deform me, or transform me.
