274: The La Sagrada Familia Story

Trung does a deep dive on La Sagrada Familia, the longest-running construction project in the world, spanning over 140 years. Started in 1883 by Antoni Gaudí, the basilica embodies his vision of creating "the Bible in stone" through revolutionary architectural techniques inspired by natural forms. Despite numerous historical challenges and Gaudí's death in 1926, the project continues today, funded by tourism and executed using modern technology that validates Gaudí's original designs.
