I do not agree with any of the comments the narrator made at the beginning of this video. Gaudi was brave enough to invent his own style instead of copying everyone else. After a while, all other architecture begins to look alike. Gaudi was a true original. I love his work.

The comments made at the beginning of my film were taken from criticism from two newspaper architect critics. They were included to show that there were some people who did not agree with Gaudi's work. I agree with your comments....Gaudi was a true original......

@@Zorba9 At Video minute 23:10, Gaudi says he "used clean geometric lines." He did not. He used round curves. But that is why I like his work. His structures blend the natural curves of the earth with man-made structures. He never uses traditional Greek and Roman architecture. His work is surreal. But that is why I like him. The truth is, life on planet Earth can be very surreal. He was not afraid to represent that idea in his work. That is comforting, in a way. Most civilized people seem to want to cover up and hide our sins inside churches, courthouses and prisons. We read about our sins in the news or court documents or history books. Where do we ever see them represented in architecture? We don't. That can make a person feel insane. Gaudi brings everything outside and puts it all in the walls, we can see it and talk about it.

He left a legacy that no one could copy but it served as an inspiration for artists and Architects. All I could do is appreciate the beauty of his works. I appreciate your film, too!

@rosemariegabor, Gaudi's life was meaningful but not exactly short 😉 He was over 70 when he died. Considering the average life span of people born in the 1850s, Gaudi probably lived longer than most people.

Stupid critic at the beginning. What a great man, very inspiring and clearly an inspiration to those fortunate enough to be graced by his company. You see the corporate shit they build today in cities, it makes my skin crawl. Nobody comes close to this genius. Here's to the great Gaudi. Respect, from Ireland.

brilliant that was just the guided tour i needed

Un artista con una sensibilidad extraordinaria y que no se limitaba al campo artistico. Es una pena que ahora se lucre tanto con los monumentos de un genio que tenia sensibilidad social, que contribuyó en proyectos de teatro social y socialismo utopico y que defendió su identidad catalana hasta el final. Estoy segura que el estaria inconforme con el precio que cobran para contemplar lo que él llamó ‘la catedral de los pobres’. La cultura debería ser mas asequible. Ademas se han empecinado en mostrarlo como un hombre de fe, pero sin duda él era mucho mas que eso.

Interesting film. I’m glad I watched.

His columns that didnt lean on anything came to an abrupt halt in costruction because of gaudi ceasing to recieve the support of another

A very interesting dude.

parabéns pelo vídeo, Gaudi é único 👏👏

20:45 I just noticed the decks on this building look like lizard heads. This is why I like Gaudi. He is not afraid to incorporate these ideas into architecture. He brings the shapes we see in nature into the structure of the building. Why not? I mean, God used those shapes because they work.

The end is only funny if you understand the artistic term "eccentric". It is a euphemism for Queer or homosexual. The funny part is Gaudi's face as he walks away from his apprentice Ortega at the end. Firstly, Gaudi looks as if he either thought Ortega wanted to have sex with Gaudi, or he thought he had pulled one over on Ortega. Gaudi seems to be thinking, "Did I just get away with that? Did Ortega believe me?"

“Science is analysis and analysis is death” most especially true in imagination, creativity and art. Specialization seems to produce dogma and dogma sucks the life and vitality of living. The question remains about the durability of the materials Gaudi used, how long will they endure the ravishes of time & increasing CO2 in our atmosphere.

درود بر او👌👌👌

I assume that the dialogue spoken by the actor portraying Gaudi is taken directly from Gaudi's writings. Near the beginning of the show is a voiceover of an actor reading an article written by an architecture critic who derided his work. Architecture critics used to be widely read, and people took them seriously. They were a very picky bunch, and they loved to rip on tiny things that they claimed violated some rule or another that they claimed to exist. This restriction drove architects nuts, and motivated some to go in completely different directions. I hear the words of Gaudi, as I said, I assume they are his, and I hear him expressing his ideas on architecture, and I hear that he is as dogmatic and rigid as any of the critics. Frank Lloyd Wright had his own ideas, and he too was certain that his way was by far the best. And both Wright, and Gaudi, claimed they were merely copying nature. They were not only ones to make that claim, and all of them must have copied different natures because their designs all look different from each other's. Every designer feels comfortable following certain rules that they were either taught, or they picked up from some sort of experience. That is only natural because you must have a guide inside of you, or else you'll be lost when you're designing. There are so many decisions to make that without any guiding principles, it would be overwhelming to make them all. The thing to recognize is many designers feel so strongly that their personal rules are the best that they will describe them as 'the most valid', 'taken from nature', 'the closest to the truth of architecture', or some other boldy exaggerated claim that is probably pretty laughable. Listening to them you can't help but conclude they hold to their design principles like religious doctrine, rather than just seeing them as worthwhile, but subjective ideas. My personal view on Gaudi's work is that I like some of the things he did, and I don't like other things. I don't like the broken tiles. They make everything they're on look dilapidated to me, even when they are brand new. He used far more decoration than I prefer, but that is a matter of taste, of course. The thing I like the most from his work, are the leaning columns. He did his structural studies for his projects by putting a drawing of the building's floor plan on a board. Then he would attach strings in loops to the boards, locating the ends where columns are indicated on the floor plan. Both ends of each length of string would be secured to the board as if forming the columns, and upper section of an arch. He would turn the board upside down, and hang lead weights on the string loops at points where he thought a contributing load would be. The strings took on the shape of the future building's structure. It showed him the angles and directions of all the loads, and could be measured directly. I believe he would make a couple models like that, and dip one in plaster of Paris which would allow him to turn the whole thing right side up. The shape of the arches produced by that method are called catenaries. The video has him saying he used parabolas, but I am certain that he knew his arches were catenaries, not parabolas.

Thank you for your interesting comment about my film. The dialogue spoken by Gaudi was taken from the notes of a student who was still alive at the time I wrote the script. He generously lent me the copious amount of notes he wrote after he spoke with Gaudi as he wasn't allowed to write anything down during his visit. There were critics at the time Gaudi designed and built his buildings and some of them was not impressed with his work. It has been suggested that the broken tiles that Gaudi used, especially on the serpentine bench in Guell Park could have been an influence on the Cubist art movement.
