Learning Objective
The case aims to debate the following questions: What made Gaudí's vision so strong and compelling that it managed to convince thousands to build a church like none that had been built before, using techniques that did not yet exist at the time? How has the project been able to continue through the struggles it has had to face? And, moreover, how is Gaudí's vision still guiding his successors 100 years after his death?
