Unpopular opinion #architecture - La Familia Sagrada basilica in Barcelona has a hideous exterior design - common to the world’s worst, but still celebrated, architect: Gaudi. I’ve visited twice, decades apart - and though the interior has its moments, the exterior is, imho, simply ugly, a blight on the city like most of Gaudi’s work. His designs appear to me like a child drizzling wet sand to create a toddler castle on the beach. #SagradaFamilia #buildings #barcelona
