Completing La Sagrada Familia, a talk by Tristram Carfrae

[@Maxbps88]

I was lucky enough to travel from Cincinnati to Barcelona in 1991 to see the works of my then and forever favorite architect - Antoni Gaudi. And I look forward to returning to see this the most phenomenal building ever constructed finished around 2026/28.

Antoni guadi is probably looking from heaven at the sagrada familia smiling at his basilica little by little being complete.

[@-budismotierrapura-shandao]

This is one noble and challenging project people from Barcelona should be so proud

[@malegrissusran8847]

Question > what would Jesus say , if he would see this ?? I think he would turn away . and go ...

[@alanmoul8655]

What a great talk!!! Awesome descriptions, video clips, and presentations of how theory, design, materials and construction work to together to build a structure honoring to God.

[@aric85]

[@wmeemw994]

Antoni Gaudi’s Sagrada Família is clearly one of the six greatest & most beautiful Cathedrals or Basilicas of the world and likely one of the last to be built. In the Dark, Middle Ages, Renaissance and golden eras of 192o’s, these took 1oo-2oo years to ‘finish’. Gaudi’s magnum opus, Sagrada Família, was started during 1882 and will likely have taken nearly 15o years to ‘finish’ when it too is complete - expected Jun’26. Some dark-ages & renaissance builders said that a Cathedral is as God Himself - never finished, never satisfied. They often noted that replacements, renovations & repairs started before original structure was completed - and Gaudi’s Sagrada Família will be just the same. Classical in every respect of the art.

[@taeantony5310]

During this talk at 19:14 onwards he discusses something like "courterny action", what is the actual word he's saying? And what does it mean?

[@taeantony5310]

Francis Archer thank you! I appreciate it 😊

[@wmeemw994]

‘Catenary’? His curved lines? Gaudi’s style, his mark was that eschewed straight, rigid lines which were generally not found in nature. “In physics and geometry, a catenary is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends. The catenary curve has a U-like shape, superficially similar in appearance to a parabolic arch, but it is not a parabola.”

Cant they use modern design to put in an elevator, instead of or as well as the 20 floors of stairs??

[@mioszwojtyga5100]

they stick to the project gaudi intended it to be as closely as they can. if there's a clear staircase in the drawings, its gonna be made this way

[@mioszwojtyga5100]

oh sorry i just finished watching the video and they're actually making a lift inside the spiral staircase ahh

[@arminasangma64]

House of God

[@malegrissusran8847]

This is no house of God ! This has nothing to do with God or with Jesus ! This is pure materialism and ego.....

[@Animalkisser]

Gaudí designed his buildings in stone so they could last centuries or millenia. However, they pouring concrete in La Sagrada Familia. Unfortunately, the durability of concrete is 100 years...

[@effkay84]

See 13:10 and 34:40 re: concrete...

[@wmeemw994]

Just one of his many materials used - stone, concrete, pottery, shards - he used concretions with shards in cosmetic, non-structural save to hold the pottery to his structures (other projects he did)

[@framegrace1]

Is explained in the video. Reinforced concrete had to be used to comply with seismic requirements. Stone alone was not enough and at the time there was not other way to do it. Is only used where strictly necessary. This pre-tensioned stone method is way better, so you can be pleased to hear it will not be used anymore. BTW, Good reinforced concrete can last forever.... So no need to worry about it, they are not on a budget and use the best available.

[@jacekzajac8356]

When inspired by Deity humans are capable of astonishing feats. Does one need better proof of existence of God?

[@malegrissusran8847]

This in NO proof of the exist of God !! This is a proof od human ego ! and for the tourists and money Nothing more

[@jacekzajac8356]

Bla bla bla

[@javict99]

Not even one minute through and he already made the big mistake of calling it cathedral. Its actually a basilica. This misconception is so simple that it makes me skeptical for the rest of the talk🤨

[@taeantony5310]

Javict 99 he corrects himself later on and explains the difference

[@framegrace1]

Yeah, that's a deadly mistake. Close the video and don't look at the amazing techniques they invented, they are all worthless coming from such dirty mouth.
