I visited La Segrada Familia in 2000. The interior was empty, as was most of the roof. The majority of the exterior was present and, that alone was mind-boggling. I often think about my trip to Barcelona and this great church. When I visited, there was a very light crowd. At that time, you could walk up the spiral staircases that went up the spires and terminated at catwalks to two adjacent spires. From the catwalks you could look down into the exposed Nave. That experience, and my visit to Park Guell where I dined in the space under the beautiful upper porch, stay with me almost 25 years later.
Sagrada Familia is the one that I am most impressed by. Gaudi was an inspired genius, not a 21st Century oil royalty with all of the modern tech available to him. While Simon pointed out that he was a devout catholic, he was also in awe of nature. Besides the biblical scenes, the cathedral has many nods to nature, with seasonal foods, foliage and even columns designed like trees.
Whenever I see scenes of Dubai, I always thinks, "As it's all brand new, shouldn't they have built an efficient metro system underneath the skyscrapers to begin with?"
Instead they decided to build it on top for whatever reason. There's a big train that goes through the airport to pretty much everywhere with tram lines around buildings in the marina. Also there's a sewer system, I know this must be shocking information. There's also roads and sidewalks, can you believe it
@@gregmccauley1687 Really, there is a sewer system and public transport all over town? Been there, checked it out? And it is not a city, it is a bunch of buildings on the side of one street with the usual American style suburbs to sleep in.
I'll probably never understand the Saudis. So, King Fahd International Airport is almost 2½ times the size of the _country_ that I live in. Granted, it's a very small country, but its airport sees 7.8 million passengers a year, versus 10.9 million for the Saudi one. Regarding the Sagrada Familia, you simply _have_ to see it. It's astonishingly beautiful, especially from inside. You can just sit down (there is a convenient ledge for that at the sides), and admire the beautiful light, pillars, and ceiling.
Hope the Burj Khalifa can finally get a connection to the municipal sewage system... The Makaab kinding reminds us of the HQ of the company making those 'replicants' in Blade Runner...
Well, churches are often like that. The dome of Cologne had been begun in the year 1248, and was finished in the year 1880, in between the project had been dormant for centuries.
The Cologne Dom is the second highest, for now at least. I've seen the Dom of Cologne, and it's truly magnificent. Haven't seen the Ulm Minster. Earlier this year, though, I've seen the Sagrada Familia, and of all the churches, basilicas and cathedrals that I've seen (which include the aforementioned Cologne Dom, the Notre Dame in Paris, the Duomo of Milan, the Duomo of Florence, St Peter's Basilica in Rome, St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, and a whole bunch of others) it stands out. There's nothing like it.
People keep trying to cram us into cities and mega buildings, but if we've learned anything over the last 5 years it's that our technology has made such things unnecessary. Modern technologies have allowed people to live anywhere and be instantly connected with just about anyone else anywhere else. If any of these new mega buildings are completed, they will remain largely empty. People simply don't need mega cities and mega buildings anymore.
People don't but the environment does. We spread out into sprawling suburbs and end up destroying more land. Spreading our filth every where, killing the wildlife, fragmenting their habitats, draining and poisoning rivers, concreting flood plains. Cities are a blessing for the natural world because it keeps us out of it.
There is a condo building in my city that's been getting built for the last 19 years. The building is only maybe 10 floors and it isn't very large. It's taken longer to build than the Burj Khalifa.
does anyone know if there are any plans to build a new medieval style castle anywhere? i wonder why the none of the ultrarich have done this - you would think at least 1 would
Considering how many of these are in the Middle East: from the fact that we still drive fossil fuel-based cars. The Sagrada Familia: donations and entrance fees.
Quick question: Who is going to want to go to Saudi Arabia, UAE, or similar places? I don't know about anyone else, but the middle east is on my bucket list of places to avoid unless the plane has to make an emergency landing - and the pilot had better have a good reason to land there!
I'm guessing the same type of people who do saturation diving knowing they would be stuck underwater for months at a time: people who like lots of money and don't mind less than perfect living situations.
The Board Walk at Bricktown looks like another Walkie-Talkie wating to happen... Same with Ciel Dubai... Discovery Tower will be like Hell on Earth. I hope their oil allows for AC 24/7.
Ciel Dubai Marina in Dubai: let's hope that they haven't forgotten to connect it to a sewage system so they don't have to rely on thousands of honey trucks a day like the Burj Khalifa 🤣🤣🤣
Most of the projects seem like they are playing an angle when things don't go to "plan". The Sagrada familia is the most reasonable building on the list. I think the Triangle thing in Paris is a spiteful building. It will already stand out because it is a skyscraper, why must they also make it clash with the Parisian aesthetic? It looks like a big middle finger in the sky to all of Paris.
@@newshodgepodge6329 That's a depressing way to look at the world... by that logic why build anything at all? A fire could start, or it could be struck by a 10.0 earthquake, or hit by a meteor, or an airplane could crash into it. (Btw, I'm not defending this project, I think it's a terrible idea that will sit mostly empty for atleast 30 - 40 years if it ever is completed.)
Earlier this year, my wife and I visited Barcelona. Of course, we went to see the Sagrada Familia. I'm not religious, but my goodness, I've never seen anything like it. Especially inside is mesmerising. When churches have a tower, it's usually one or two of them. A handful have three or even four towers. When finished, the Sagrada Familia will have _eighteen_ towers. The entire building is an allegory of the life of Jesus. One façade depicts his birth, and it's all covered in leaves, and signs of life. The doors are covered in metal leaves, insects, reptiles, etc. The opposite façade depicts his death, and it looks like a skull. It apparently inspired the looks of Imperial Star Troopers in the Star Wars franchise.
@@SeverityOne It's a marvel indeed. Anyone who has only seen its stock photos with a facade sporting four towers (because everything else was still under construction) is in for a surprise when they see it in person and realize that that's _only a small part of it_. The inside is breathtaking. The height and geometry of the pillars and the dazzling colors of the room is totally unexpected. The video segment did it no justice whatsoever.

I am not sure why you have bothered to challenge a simple observation on my part that was to better provide a frame of reference for those not here. Precision is useful for day to day realities, with your take on a city where you are not a resident, it is over 4 kilometres from the city centre to the Pyramid.
@@fabmaxmm It's tall visible form most high places across Paris and it within boundaries of Boulevard Périphérique. Its in Paris whether you want to play down its location or not its in Paris and it is relevant. A buildings location cannot be judged purely on some distance to the centre. Like most large cities Paris has multiple "centres". Also to may people near that location its central to their part of Paris. It's an ugly building and shouldn't be built. The same funds would be better spent with more aesthetically sympathetic buildings spread across a wider area.

@@JamesPicarding now consider how overpriced everything is in Toronto and take away the free healthcare….. then you have many Americans cities. Toronto is expensive, yes, but so are cities like New York, San Francisco etc… you’d without a doubt be singing a different tune if you were paying those high living prices AND getting hit with tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

I visited La Segrada Familia in 2000. The interior was empty, as was most of the roof. The majority of the exterior was present and, that alone was mind-boggling. I often think about my trip to Barcelona and this great church. When I visited, there was a very light crowd. At that time, you could walk up the spiral staircases that went up the spires and terminated at catwalks to two adjacent spires. From the catwalks you could look down into the exposed Nave.
