Stone workshop process from digital model to carved architectural component

At Sagrada, fabrication is hybrid by intention: computation defines precision, while artisans recover tactile expression.


Pipeline overview

  • Parametric geometry and tolerance checks.
  • CNC roughing for efficient mass removal.
  • Hand finishing for edge character and symbolic legibility.
  • Trial fit, then phased installation.

Why this matters

The result preserves Gaudí's craft ethos while meeting contemporary complexity and schedule demands.
