The new machining centre measures 2500 x 1250 mm and is the solution to a growing space problem in the workshop headed by Salvador Guardiola: an unusual workshop, with an area of 80 square metres, operating at a height of 30 metres above ground level. At present, the workshop employs 20 people out of the 200+ personnel working on the construction of the Sagrada Família. Two machine operators specializing in numerical control, one IT technician and Guardiola himself will be in charge of the new machining centre, which will work to maximum output. “Patterns arrive in the carpentry shop from the design office at a frenetic pace. Nearly all pieces are curved and irregular in shape,” adds Salvador Guardiola. “These are the famous paraboloids which are the elements of a huge and intricate structure that’s gradually taking shape. By 2026 the church of the Sagrada Família will be complete.”
