'My boss is not in a hurry, ' Gaudi famously once said.  Below: Nativity facade. This was completed in Gaudi's lifetime before his sudden and tragic death in 1926. Gaudi died after being hit by a Barcelona tram while walking to the Sagrada Familia from his house in Park Guell.  The nativity facade of the Sagrada Familia has incredible detail with intricate scupltures and carvings.  Sagrada Familia means the 'Holy Family' which is the theme of nativity facade.  The 'Passion Facade'' work started in 1954. The sculptures depicting the crucified Jesus Christ were added in 1987. When they were unveiled, the more basic and abstract style of the figures sparked a storm of debate, because the style was so very different from Gaudí's. Gaudi is most famous for his avoidance of straight lines preferring the curved lines of nature, while the sculptures on the 'Passion facade' are more linear and far from Gaudi’s style. However they are very impressive and were created by famous Catalan sculptor and artist Josep Maria Subirachs   Views towards Montjuic hill from the towers of the passion facade.
