The Espai Imagina in Barcelona has opened its doors to the 'Gaudí Code' exhibition, a proposal combining academic research and immersive technology to showcase the architect's unpublished designs.

The exhibition, part of the official Gaudí Year program, has been declared an Event of Exceptional Public Interest. The project is a collaboration between Grup Mediapro and the Gaudí Chair at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).
Visitors can digitally access projects that remained on paper, such as the Hotel Attraction in New York, the Monumental Fountain in Plaça de Catalunya, or the Franciscan Missions in Tangier. These reconstructions were carried out using scientific criteria based on preserved historical documentation.
The exhibition highlights the architect's most innovative side, exploring how he used geometry, light, and models to solve structural challenges. The proposal integrates virtual reality, augmented reality, and immersive audiovisual installations to make technical knowledge accessible to the general public.
