Gaudi's stress model for La Sagrada Familia

Right, this is awesome - he filled a load of bags of lead shot, each with the appropriate amount as per the stress on a part of La Sagrada, then hooked them up on strings and hung them upside down, thus plotting the stress forces and the ideal structure. AWESOME
