Architecture students studying columns and vault geometry inside Sagrada Família

Treat the basilica as a live studio: observe force flow, geometry generation, and symbolic legibility as one system.


Study prompts

  • Map one column from base to branch and note section transitions.
  • Identify one ruled surface and infer its generating lines.
  • Track color movement on a single bay for 10 minutes.

Deliverable idea

Create a one-page "structure + meaning" diagram that links form, load path, and liturgical effect.
