Completing La Sagrada Familia, a talk by Tristram Carfrae 

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.

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

What a fantastic talk.

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

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.

Masterpiece of architecture. Magic does exist and there it is.

Beautiful 💓💓💓💓 Enchanting Blessed Basilica La Sagrada Familia

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.

Just wow!

fascinating

I have been to Barcelona twice and it is truly an amazing city.

Guys a rock star

Church is the house of God

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?

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

House of God

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...

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

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🤨
