Gaudí's Casa Milà, the scandalous genius of Barcelona

[@jaygatz4335]

I visited Casa Milà in June and loved being immersed in Gaudí's organic shapes and structures. It's a marvel now; it must have been shocking in 1912!

[@jdhinckley1954]

One of my favorite buildings. We were beneficiaries of a complete tour a number of years ago. What an experience!

[@jeffpagan7735]

How can someone see such a almost mouthwatering architectural confection like this and find it anything else but spectacular is beyond imagination.

[@gustavomunevar3157]

El público valora solamente el genio creativo de gaudi. Mi pregunta es : quien hubiese sido gaudi sin los artesanos tan geniales que tenia? Nadie. No valdria nada. Una cosa es hacer dibujos (arquitectos) y otra volverlos realidad ( los artesanos albañiles). Loor a los verdaderos genios, los albañiles. Prueba de ello es que no han podido ni podran concluir la catedral de la sagrada familia. Ya esa calidad de genios albañiles se acabó

​@@gustavomunevar3157Gaudí era um arquiteto construtor, ele trabalhava na execução das suas obras, seu estilo é único e rico em detalhes, mas nessa época existia o movimento Art Nouveou que trabalhava o conceito de arte aplicada nas grades nos ornamentos e mobiliários, o artesão tinha muito valor nessa época, depois veio a arte moderna, novos conceitos estéticos e a ornamentação artesanal deixou de ter valor que tinha naquele tempo, por isso a dificuldade de dar continuidade as obras inacabadas.

Very interesting and amazing apartments, so surreal I love it . Thank you ❤❤👍

[@troygoss6400]

What a stunning piece of art.

[@pchabanowich]

Thank you for the tour - what a splendid hive of apartments!

Gaudi, génial novateur. L'audace a payé ! Barcelone : un livre d'architecture à ciel ouvert ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@maitrelama2300]

C'est absolument génial

[@zeeldaazoonk]

Je l'ai visitée et j'en garde encore un souvenir émerveillé. Je ne connaissais pas son histoire néanmoins et je vous remercie de m'avoir éclairé.

[@bertspeggly4428]

I did too, in 1979. I thought it was beautiful.

[@jeffpagan7735]

It's gorgeous! I'm green with envy! 😊

[@PiggyFuktoy]

FABULOUS BRILLIANT OUTSTANDING

[@annelisesaurel3858]

Merci, ça vaut le coup d'oeil 😍

[@mikethespike7579]

Customer: I just want a house to live in. Gaudi: you will get your house, but it will be a work of art, you will accept it and pay for it even if you don't like it.

[@judithgracia4602]

Excel.lent video sobre "La casa Milà" (o "La Pedrera" (es pronuncia "pAdrera", com es coneix popularment) del nostre gran i estimat arquitecte Antoni Gaudí. Salutacions des de la meva ciutat, Barcelona i felicitacions a l'autor del video.

[@brendamathieu1069]

Thoroughly fascinating! Now I know where the word “gaudy” comes from! A definite work of art!

[@janegarner6739]

If u mean that the term "gaudy" is derived from the architect's name, I think your assumption is incorrect.

He was a genius and im sure the Star Wars films took inspiration from the chimneys on Casa Mila. The scene on the rear of Sagrada Familia really looks like Darth Vader and the Storm Troopers. Amazing!

[@christoohunders5316]

Seulement 37 pouces ? Vidéo superbe, très instructif, je l'ai visitée cet été avec la moitié de la planète, j'ai ce soir appris plein de trucs, merci.

[@mariorivero979]

[@nonogege6935]

un genie , messieurs !

[@bcnmanhattan50]

Merci beaucoup

[@Davidbirdman101]

American here, I built homes for 45years, always by an architects blue prints of course, but occasionally I would sit down and try to imagine a home of my own design. I wanted to do something different, unusual, profound. Ha ha, I never succeeded. I just didn't have the imagination of someone like Mr Gaudi. He's truly a maverick, unique individual. Much respect for his courage.

[@Dandelionfleur]

I agree with the Milas, the statue Gaudi wanted was inappropriate. The building itself is incredible and something to be treasured. I loved the columns and arches and flowing facade. The inner courtyards were intriguing, imagine living in one of those apartments, I would never leave, ha ha, feet first!

[@normanbonk8064]

Astounding! Prayers.

[@Arco76]

Wat een prachtig bouwwerk ♥️♥️♥️

[@Angels-3xist]

Perhaps what I love most about this is the casual pan over the attendant sleeping on duty at 15:40

[@АлекпероваОльга]

Скандальный??!! ГЕНИАЛЬНЫЙ!!!!👏👏👏👏

[@skyjuiceification]

It is the most beautiful apartment building anywhere.

[@alanbauch2815]

If I ever get there, as a Stone mason now retired, I will sit down and weep...

[@PeraBarcelona]

Mi edificio favorito..

[@karencannon9415]

I want to live there!😮

[@mattgordon9179]

Timeless.

[@waxeye6488]

'Force of nature' is a tired phrase, but it must be said of Gaudi

[@michaels7889]

Nicely presented despite the fuzzy images, good text well read when without the weird subtitles. Certainly not modern digital video?

[@kennethvenezia4400]

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[@toddaulner5393]

I love it! I dislike modern building that look like a hospital.

[@nct948]

I don't have an eye for this architecture 😂

[@boudu1747]

à cette époque éffectivemet cette architecture avait de quoi provoquer un rejet total ... meme maintenant à vrais dire , on aime ou on n'aime pas !!!

[@AndreasAndersson-ve4jx]

Wow! Vertigo/hangover/nightmare.. Is it missing some layers of paint, that would have made it fancy, sort of? Blue/Green traces, like on some of the interior? Or was it this bare even in the early days? All the various (upper class) styles before modernism, most of it was really fabolous... But at least how this building looks now, it's kinda H.R. Giger... Not at least the roof. Or with everything blue/green, like you were living under water?. Wow...

[@GinaArch]

Wow!

[@larrysorenson4789]

It is interesting that Bob Hopes wife did not like the architecture that John Lautner lavished on their home. So she too brought in some friend with no talent to furnish the Palm Springs California home.

[@ksoper1351]

Perhaps a better fit for a different location

[@nct948]

It would probably look stunning in a park with undulating lawns, flowing stream and great trees, and plenty of light to brighten up these deep courtyards all the way to the bottom, yes, I could see that.

[@ubisuntgaudia9833]

Tolles Haus. Hat F. Hunderwasser sich davon inspirieren lassen (Mannheim, Deutschland)?

[@rulistening7777]

I would be too worried about an earthquake.

[@nct948]

or a fire, if there is only an elevator 😮

[@hudiexingtai]

As this video soundtrack is dubbed into english , the subtitles are entirely unnecessary. The superfluous subtitles take up over 1/3 of the screen blocking out much of the images that picture the featured architecture and design. Self defeating and disappointing.. Pity.

[@shieldsister5493]

well you can turn the titles off, go to cc and turn off,then it will no longer occupy vision space

[@EstebanPosadaDuque-x4y]

Stop complainting

[@thomasb6573]

Groundbreaking? Yes, but hardly scandalous. Gaudi, himself, lived a life of extreme Christian denial and observance.

Traducerea este groaznica, inexacta, decalata, facuta de cineva care nu prea stie engleza; e luata de pe Google

C'est affreux je n'ai pas voulu la visiter ! Horrible

[@zeeldaazoonk]

C'est bien dommage vous avez raté quelque chose. Personnellement j'ai été ébloui par tant d'ingéniosité et de créativité. J'espère que dans vos rapports avec vos proches vous ne vous arrêtez pas aux façades sans chercher à voir les beautés intérieures...

[@jamesraymond1158]

Overrated architect. His designs are just plain ugly.

[@toddaulner5393]

In your opinion.

[@nct948]

it seems many people don't share your views though. I remember that during the Renaissance in France, gothic architecture was thought totally ugly. Who can say what the next fad will be 🤓

[@Tregrense]

Grotesque, cacophonous and scatological. Narcissism championed and mythologized. Monstrous.

[@jaygatz4335]

Wow! I guess you weren't impressed . . .

[@toddaulner5393]

Since you said that I have to ask.. what is your favorite building? I am curious.

[@gottabesometime6632]

awesome..but drawn out on it's description...fast forward and get to to nitty gritty or FACTS PLEASE!!!!

[@PiggyFuktoy]

Gaudi and Imhotep are two men I'd like to spend eternity with
