Casa Mila 2.0

Continuing with my Gaudi research, I have found a couple of interesting videos on Gaudi. I'm posting the first one here... although it might be a little difficult for non-catalonian speakers. But it has beautiful grainy black and white images from the 20's and 30's, and video fragments from who knows when. Anybody that speaks Spanish will make out about 80% of it, knowing French helps a little bit more.

Zumthor's Vals Thermal Baths in Switzerland

I still haven't met anyone that doesn't love Peter Zumthor, his published books have the largest resale value of any architecture book I have ever seen. I love his work simply because his views on architecture are so similar to mine, phenomenologically speaking of course. He overloads your senses, not only with light, texture, and sound, but gives his buildings a personality, an ego, a history, that makes them feel almost organic, as if it was an organism that was here to learn a become better than when it was created.

I don't know who made these videos, but Offensive77 is hosting them in his You Tube page, along with many other architecture videos. Enjoy these, I sure did.
