1. Huerta, S 2006 'Structural Design in the Work of Gaudí', Architectural Science Review, Volume 49.4, pp324-339
Analysis and design of masonry arches, vaults and buildings. Gaudí's equilibrium methods are studied with some detail, stressing their validity within the frame of Limit Analysis.


2. Burry, M 1993, Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Família Antoni Gaudí, Phaidon Press Limited, London.
Explanation on the structural and historical aspects of Sagrada Família and modelling process of it with drawings and photography.


3. Gómez-Serrano, J., Espel, R., Grima, R., C.Burry, M., Aguado, A., 2009 'Evolution of the formwork used in the temple of the Sagrada Família', International Journal of Architectural Heritage, 3:p93-109
Construction complexity  of the structure of Sagrada Familia, especially in relation to the set-up of their formwork. The vaults is discussed and this discussion shows how the construction method, and in consequence the formwork, is adapted to the construction needs according to the geometric shape, size, position and repetitions of each vault.




<Technical aspects of complex geometry>
1. Menges, A 2011 'Biomimetic design process in architecture: morphogenetic and evolutionary computational design' IOP Publishing Bioinspir. Biomim. 7, p1-10
The paper explains how computational design enables the development of biomimetic design process specific to architecture, and how they need to be significantly different from established biomimetic process in engineering disciplines.


2. Hensel, M, Menges, A 2008 'Designing Morpho-Ecologies Versatility and Vicissitude of Heterogeneous Space' Johon Wiley & Sons Ltd p102-111
The authors outline their theoretical and methodological framework for 'morpho-ecological design' in architecture, illustrating it further with two projects that combine research and design.


3. Killan, A 'Linking Digital Hanging Chain Models to Fabrication' ACADIA: Structures p110-125
The paper traces the development of a digital hanging chain modeler in Java inspired by Antonio Gaudí's physical hanging chain models. More importantly, it demonstrates how fabrication schemas for physical mockups of the digitally simulated hanging chain can be linked to the real time form finding simulation
