La hora de la fachada de la Gloria de la Sagrada Familia: así la imaginó Gaudí
El patronato decidirá en breve el ganador del concurso en el que Miquel Barceló parte como favorito, y también participan Cristina Iglesias y Javier Marín
As the year draws to a close, the final phase of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona approaches the centenary of architect Antoni Gaudí's passing. Once the vertical construction of the basilica reaches completion with the tower of Jesus Christ completed in February, and following the Pope's visit in June, the temple now faces two significant decisions.
The first is urbanistic, involving negotiations with the City Hall and neighbors regarding the escalinata on Mallorca Street: whether it will be constructed, not constructed, or if it will require the demolition of residences. The second decision is artistic, concerning the outcome of the competition called to materialize the main façade of the temple, that of the Glory.
The artists selected to submit their designs are Miquel Barceló from Mallorca, Cristina Iglesias from Donostia, and Javier Marín from Mexico. The three have been submitting their projects for months, awaiting a verdict that first was expected in April, then in June, and now, again this month, the Patronage will convene in the regular monthly meeting.
