When Gaudi finished architecture school, his professor famously said "We have put our stamp of approval on someone who is either a genius or a madman. Only time will tell." Gaudi is so unusual that clearly people are still arguing about which one, even 100 years later!
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but to my eye, this edifice is breathtaking. When you see it in person it literally takes one’s breath away. I’m normally loathe to use this word for non-human subjects but in this case, the form is sexy. Thank you for posting this video!
Every inch of this house is designed with so much thought and love, every minute detail a work of art in its own right. Whether people like the building or not, it's nothing short of ingenious. I find it very pleasing to let the eye wander across the intricate shapes and curved surfaces...can a house have sex appeal? Seems this one does.
In 2018, i was fortunate to be able to spend 6 weeks in the old quarter. I made regular visits to this site, but there is much more than La Familia. The Parks, the Music Hall, the restaurants where you have to stand up to eat (and drink). Oh. as all of the natives told me: Hold onto your purse, and cameras and watches.
Na świecie jest wiele ciekawych i pięknych budynków mieszkalnych, ale zamieszkać bym chciała (wręcz śni mi się to po nocach) tylko w jednym. Casa Mila w Barcelonie, który jest dziełem Antonio Gaudiego. Jego projekty architektoniczne to secesyjne dzieła sztuki rzeźbiarskiej. Casa Mila zaprojektował w każdym szczególe. Łącznie z oświetleniem i wystrojem wnętrz. Ten budynek to piękny sen wariata. Zresztą park Guell i Sagrada Familia też.
The Casa Mila complements the elegant buildings in its proximity, giving the impression that it was once as they were -- before it began its metamorphosis into an organism. A hallucination of itself, the building rebels against traditional architecture, yet Gaudi does not attempt to destroy the past. He does not fear the beautiful nor the detail that is loved in traditional buildings. It is all here, inviting human beings to explore, linger, and live in it.
REMARKABLE; Gaudi faced the SAME issues we face today as Architects; financial pressure, getting light into the centre of buildings, structure, facades, light & air, services. NOTHING HAS CHANGED
There are mordern apartments being built all over my city that look like an imitation of this. I think what's groundbreaking about Guadi isn't just that he expressed beauty. He also predicted the future.
In today’s world, all big buildings have a committee, usually the Board of Directors with an appointed head of the project. The board is reduced to a steering committee. During design presentations, there is also a cost estimate submitted. The committee goes right to the bottom line , TOTAL COST. In almost every case the bottom line never changes.Not too many boards will approve a project that is over budget and takes too long to build. AND there have been many lawsuits for projects that are over budget and cannot be finished in the required approved budget. Look at Raphael Vinolay and the Kimmel Center, Gehry and the Dormitory he did at Cambridge.
11:46 Wealth not from the colonies? the Catalan bourgeoisie at the beginning of the century was not a bourgeoisie with properties in the colonies, (colonies that had ceased to be Spanish colonies more than half a century ago at that point) but because of the new industries that were installed in Catalonia and the Basque Country...
When you see it in person it is beautiful. Almost a living thing. It gives off an organic sense of warmth and beauty. So different then the dead linear buildings being constructed in our major cities.
i dont have anything against your opinion, i was just wondering what it was u exactly thought about it. that has nothing to do with truth and (as i hope) little with simplicity, dont you think?
Jesus christ will you all shut up? This discordant, disharmonious gaudy use of space and visual influences appears to be an attempt at crossing Aladdin's Cave, Hogwart's Train Station and the Krak de Chevalier. It's an affront to aesthetics aight yo dawgs?
I don't agree with Gaudi's architecture myself, but one cannot detract from his ingenuity. He dreamed up these forms long before deconstructivism was a thing. He worked out all details and load calculations on his own. He deserves some recognition for that, I think.
One of the best visual documentary of Gaudi, no artificial music, focus on details and time to enjoy them, congratulations!

... and no other architect has even approached to create such amazing landscape to date.

Zgadzam się z Tobą,też mogłabym tam zamieszkać,a na spacery chodzić do ogrodu Gaudiego.Barcelona jest urocza:-):-):-)

Bravo! This is dynamic architecture explained, all facets, seamlessly!
Congratulations for putting together and releasing videos are wonderful.
I am passionate about Gaudi and was thrilled.
Congratulations!
A traditionalist view as to what "should be" is the enemy of creativity. Who could not appreciate Gaudis style? Casa Mila is gorgeous to me
Thank you Dan Brown for introducing me to this beauty
Thanks for sharing!

Everybody loves Gaudi.

can some one provide me this article ? cuz i have to study it 😥
An inexplicable twang he has on these Victorian buildings
It's so strange that such a ultraconservative, and celibate architect made such sensual, flowing, and just straight up breath taking work. ;- ;
its not actually. art and design was his love.

I found this in the depths of your memory.
So everyone is reading origin?
11:46 Wealth not from the colonies? the Catalan bourgeoisie at the beginning of the century was not a bourgeoisie with properties in the colonies, (colonies that had ceased to be Spanish colonies more than half a century ago at that point) but because of the new industries that were installed in Catalonia and the Basque Country...

Men as God

Wer Gaudi gesehen hat ist für alle Zeiten von der Idee des Jugendstils infiziert.
Er ist für mich der größte Architekt aller Zeiten.
Visca Catalunya ❤❗❗❗❗
Arch 250 anyone?
yup, might be a semester late but I was looking for this comment lol
curvilinear or what!
Not pleasant to the eye... I can't understand what the architect tried to project in this building.
When you see it in person it is beautiful. Almost a living thing. It gives off an organic sense of warmth and beauty. So different then the dead linear buildings being constructed in our major cities.
I hate this monstrosity more than anything.
+Ricardo da Mata why?
***** Because it is ugly.
i dont know why i was expecting an elaborate, reasonable answer
***** The truth is simple.
i dont have anything against your opinion, i was just wondering what it was u exactly thought about it. that has nothing to do with truth and (as i hope) little with simplicity, dont you think?
