The work of Antoni Gaudí, the Catalonian architect whose genius spawned one of the most unique buildings in the world, the Sacred Family cathedral (Sagrada Familia), still a work in progress after 130 years, is a monument to the human spirit and what humans can accomplish when moved by higher impulses.
We are not religionists at TGP, and in general consider religion at best an impediment to all forms of human progress, including moral, and at worst a factor aggravating our species’ propensity to embrace criminal and idiotic courses—as the ISIS phenomenon so amply proves. And yet, since antiquity, religion has also directly and indirectly caused the creation of some of the most astonishing and enduring examples of human creativity—from the old temples, pyramids and sphinxes in Egypt, China, Burma and other parts of Asia, to the great Western cathedrals of the middle ages, the treasures of the Vatican, many of the paintings and sculptures of the great masters, and thousands of other lesser known works around the globe. Gaudí’s architectural legacy belongs in this excellent patrimony.
BELOW: We are not 100% sure about the success of this dramatization of Gaudí’s life, but it adds some valuable insights that the reader may find interesting.
A dramatic documentary on the architecture of Antoni Gaudi. The dialogue spoken in the film and the events depicted are based on fact, making the film one of the most authtentic ever produced on the life of Gaudi. Beautifully photographed on location in Barcelona, film explores some works not seen by the general public and gives insight into what inspired Gaudi to his approach to architecture. Well acted with a good script.
