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. All of life's actions tumble out in Gaudis work, the good, the beautiful, the bad and the ugly.
@@Zorba9 I'm glad you included those comments. It made me feel better. I make stuff. People ridicule my stuff all the time. After a while, I quit listening to them and just kept creating things because the critics never are happy with me.
@@Zorba9 Yes the critics and critique are part of the architecture of his story ;)
If there was a public space safe from criticism , would you have to ban all people from it ?
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
People who come to visit Barcelona will always look up in awe to this massive work of Gaudi. Thank you for making this film so we will know more of Antoni Gaudi’s short but very meaningful life. 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.
I love guadi, he is my inspiration to become an architect.
incrível a sensibilidade do artista em enxergar, reproduzir e criar. grato pela experiência proporcionada pelo video. sentindo-me inspirado!
Thank you for sharing this brilliant documentary!!!
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.
But if there weren't critics ... who would we have to criticize ?
That were the critics of his time
Antoni Gaudi, I suppose we will never know who he really was, very private with
so much vision. Merci Antoni per el teu magnific i meravellós treball. Jo vaig
neixa a Barcelona....
Recently visited Barcelona and can't help but feel an intimate connection with the works of Gaudi

Interesting film. I’m glad I watched.

Beautifully written, Heidi.
@heidimiller, you are right!
His columns that didnt lean on anything came to an abrupt halt in costruction because of gaudi ceasing to recieve the support of another
Great documentary
Interesting Documentary!
Beautiful documentary.thanks for sharing.i am now reading dan Brown's origin the latest edition,there I came to know about sir GAUDI,here I saw him ,his vision and architect.thakns.
Thank you Sanjulata, for your interest and appreciation of my film. It has been ordained as part of Catalan Culture by the government of Catalunya.
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.
A very interesting dude.
I love the intro music
Un santo genio.
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.
Insightful
“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.
Amazing documentary that is underated! But where can I find the original version in Spanish? The website link in the description is broken.
42:08 untill the next time SirAntoni
درود بر او👌👌👌
The music in this was so bizarre
Great documentary tho I laughed my ass off at the ending, good thing he's a jedi
Derek Weselake what was funny?
But why? The ending was sad
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?"
The correct name of the great Catalan architect, is Antoni. Antoni Gaudí. Many thanks and greetings from Catalonia (Europe).
Catalonia (Spain)
Sir, you are so lucky to live in such an amazing place. I visited Madrid, Barcelona and Girona in Novemeber and I fell in love with Spain and Catalonia.
Catalonia (Spain) (Europe)
Do you mean Spain? Great! :)
Catalonia (Spain) (Europe) (Earth)
This is what happens when you don't have a budget, just an imagination .
"Commercial architects" are constrained by the former and lack the latter.
Money and narrow minded people who have power in this world limit the creativity and passion of an architect who wants to create something magical.
proud to have spanish blood
Why
@@lukealadeen7836 because spain is a great country
Antonio gaudi was true legend 😭😭
wag1 who did the soundtrack? love from California
Hi, and thank you very much for the documentary. I am currently writing a small book in Gaudi and his works does anyone know the name of the interviewer that they got all this dialogue from or the architect that reviewed and derided Gaudi at the start any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
Thank you for your comments regarding my film. The dialogue spoken in the film was taken directly from the notes of a student who was still alive at the time the film was made and had spoken with Gaudi on several occasions. The criticism of his works was taken from newspaper articles printed at the time he was alive. For more information you can contact the Gaudi Archives, located in the Pedralbes section of Barcelona. The Archives are located in the Guell Pavilion, where the Dragon gate is located.
@@Zorba9 I've just watched this documentary today for the first time I must say I really enjoyed it. Thank you for this interesting film. He was a visionary a genius antoni gaudi r.i.p.❤
What an intelligent mind

Thank you, very interesting summary about the tridimensional vision of Gaudí, everybody have to see his work in 3D.
Its, Antoni...
+Marzen L.
At the time the film was made in the early 70's Antonio was the accepted spelling of his name. The film was overseen by the curator of the Gaudi works.
+Islero Antonio is not a spelling of Antoni. You just can't "spell" Antoni with an added and invented "O" that's not present.
Antonio is the translation of Antoni in Castilian Spanish, and yes, in that regard, it's a correct and therefore accepted translation, but a name is a name, and an ID will only show one particular birthname: everything else is a derivative.
+Matteo P. Do you actually have an opinion on the film itself???
Islero Yeah. Why?
+Matteo P. Well instead of discussing a non issue, ie; the spelling of a name which has no relevance to the film, does the film portray Gaudi as he may have been....??
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.
It is a very interesting video. I did not know that the video poster, was also it's writer. I enjoyed it, and learned several things I had not seen in books on Gaudi that I've read. I edited my original comment to clean up the grammar a bit, and to make it a bit clearer but the message is the same.
In 500 words or more, comment on a youtube video.
@@Zorba9 thank you for telling us. When we get to heaven, we can talk to Mr. Gaudi ourselves and ask him our questions. We want to hear him explain his work in person.
In what year was made that film?
+Genís Vilalta Moya The film was made in 1973.
Writer Dan Brown surely watched this video an additional reference to his book entitled Origin. Im blown away.
That maguey was brought from Mexico of course!
I loved Wipstaff Manor before I knew about Gaudi. If it was a real home it could be Gaudi.

That guy must be the luckiest guy ever, talking and walking with the great Antoni Guadi.
"That Guy" was a student who would visit Gaudi. The script is based on the notes he wrote after speaking with Gaudi. He actually lived in Barcelona and was still alive when I made the film and he agreed to lend me his notes on which the script is based.
@@Zorba9 wow that is great to hear and thank you for making this film. It truly is inspiring for people who like architecture.

Antoni is correct.
La nostra sacra famiglia è la mia visione mondiale ed etica , ovvero , la trascendenza come significato essente e mistico , la parametrizzazione universale e cosmica del mondo che crea e distrugge ogni dato teologico , teosofico ambendo a Dio nella sua dimensione transpersonale e nello sviluppo delle potenzialità sacre e umane.
Poster, please forgive me but please be aware that Gaudi's Christian name is Antoni, from his Catalan heritage, not Antonio. God Bless.
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your reply. The film was made in 1972 and at that time Gaudi's name was spoken as Antonio. The film was made with the approval of the head curator of the Gaudi archives in Barcelona.
Gaudí was blue eyed
The music ruined it. So low fidelity it sounds sick.
Actually the music is from Barcelona from that decades
@@DavidCanodjkano do you know what the song is called or where I can find it.
@@forsak3nkill3r No, sorry
ruclips.net/video/xIZEsXEMnxA/видео.html Antoni Gaudi
Gaudi was the total architect. The work executed by others to complete the cathedral is shit compared to the original work by tbe master.
Will you translate and writte the name of George Bush, Michael Jackson or Stephen King to spanish language?
Then why do you change Gaudís name? His name is ANTONI GAUDÍ
Gaudí was Catalan, as much Catalan as even he was arrested once because he didn't want to speak in spanish, in Catalonia, with spanish police, and he didn't speak even spend 4 hours arrested.
