Gaudi’s proposed NY skyscraper wss gorgeous and had many similar designs to La Sagrada Familia. Both leaned on organic-looking features: cantenary arches, cones and shells (the legendary architect said, “there are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature.”) A notable difference (other than the number of spires and cones) was the height…and both of the tallest parts topped with a star shape. While the proposed New York hotel was 1,180 feet, La Sagrada Familia is 556 feet. It’s still the tallest structure in Barcelona (and church in the word). But Gaudi intentionally capped the height because he was extremely religious and said, “human creation should not pass God’s work.” The Montjuïc Hill in the southwestern part of Barcelona is ~570 feet. The NY building could only have been built after 1990s. Gaudi was such a next-level designer that parts of his original La Sagrada Familia drawings (hyperboloids, parabolas) from 1880s required the invention of aeronautical computer-aided design (CAD) software a century later to deal with parametric modeling. Just an absolute legend.
