Sagrada Família museum with plaster models and hanging chains demonstration

Don’t miss the inverted hanging chain models (catenary logic) and the reconstructed plaster fragments that anchor today’s design decisions.

45–60 Minute Route

  1. Hanging chain models — learn catenary in 5 minutes.
  2. Plaster fragments and reconstructions — see how teams rebuild intent.
  3. Tower models — hierarchy and symbolism at a glance.
  4. Tools and stones — touch the material story.

For Students

  • Sketch a ruled surface from a model; note straight lines generating curves.
  • Compare a CNC pre‑finish with a hand‑finished block.
