The Sagrada Família

Chiara Curti is an architect with a PhD in Art History. She specialisses in the life and work of Gaudí and has worked on the crypt and the Nativity façade of the Sagrada Família. In this book, The Sagrada Família, the Cathedral of Light, Curti and Gaudí lead us through the basilica on a visit that transcends the very essence of the building and reveals to us the light that illuminates it on a path towards beauty or truth because, as the author says, "beauty is matter illuminated", and Gaudí shows us that "beauty is the splendour of truth". And on this path, Curti reveals aspects and images of the basilica that have never been mentioned or seen before and now, thanks to the magnificent photographs by Pere Vivas, we can all share in.
