The modernist architect Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) left us a wonderful legacy of original buildings. We will show how Gaudi’s code was based on geometrical resources in space (transformations, curves and surfaces). We will present the main challenges to be faced (2016-2026) for culminating now his main project: the Temple of the Holy Family (Sagrada Familia) in Barcelona.
