NOWNESS PLEASE DO NOT STOP CONTENT
"But finally it is work that you have to deliver and work that mostly goes over hundreds and hundreds of sketches and hundreds and hundreds of tries. Believing that inside each one of us, yourself, myself every person you see, even the most modest person with whom you have to deal, there is a source and this source can deliver quality and can deliver or never will stop to deliver so far as you don't stop working for it."
WOW.
This carries over into and craft. Don't be discouraged - keep going.
I started crying on that part, it really touched me because I never really found my own language as he says and this really motivated me to keep going.
@@laram8207, and he is saying it so simply and sincere.
Rewarding to view on a multitude of levels.
Thank you.
i was first introduced to the works of Calatrava while i was working on a grad school project of a twisting building with an atrium. It was really another dimension of thought process while working on something like that. For sure his mind is so dynamic.
I have just found Nowness. It is perfect for streaming on a large screen television. It adds beauty to place, mind and self. Dear Nowness - please do not stop. We need you now more than ever. You give the common man something to aspire to - namely SERENITY.
Beautiful homage to a great architect whose reflections enligthen everyone.
magnificent. also, imagine being involved in the final construction of these sculptures in the city after dark.
He is a true master and has achieved beautiful works. I always feel relaxed when walking in the station of Liège in Belgium that he built. Like he said he's making depressed places flourishing again. Respect to those who brings light upon earth.
He is a truly corrupt person, check the disaster-the slippery bridge in Bilbao, the flood-prone opera house in Valencia, the over-budget bridges in the Netherlands. And of course, a huge egomaniac, check what he did in Oviedo. Not proud of this assh**e
@@enriquemunizdominguez5584 are you talking about yourself?
@@enriquemunizdominguez5584 I totally agree. He's a great smokeseller, basically. Most of his works are enormous and useless structures which not only come with overcosts, but also most of the times with serious structural issues which ridiculously rise the maintanance operations and cost, and the viability of keeping the construction maintained or even just tear it down.
I 100% disagree with jordif …you are undervaluing and missing the poetry of life itself.
But there is still hope for your epiphany, while you live.
I wish this for you.
thank you, this is so inspiring.
you live and learn all the time, wonderful , give us more.
I have a very special Art Library with few books on Architects, but for this gentleman I make an exception.
LOVE this. I could NOT agree wow! Santiago was always known for his ability to capture the hearts of many. Once my proposal has been reviewed we can start to make great changes and capture even more souls for the great architects of our world.
This is so beautiful. As a struggling yet aspiring architect, I hope to become become one artist, one architect of tomorrow that inspires so many just like Santiago Calatrava. Don't stop with these contents ❤️
What a brillant man.
el ingles que mejor he entendido en mi vida..
Please remove ads from this video. It is really disrespectful of this artist as well as the filmmaker and viewer to interrupt the flow of the creativity in this way. Put it at the beginning if you must.
I agree. It is not appropriate and disrupts the flow of the video
Good stuff, thank you very much!
I'm just 16 years old but I know I will be and arquitect like him, he inspire me to be one and I know how important it's for our society, the arqitecture it's not a big building in a place, with a normal use, it's the way that our world show us how the style of live change depending of the time, I will add trees and plants in my construction, green buildings are the future.
Do it! And don't give up. Don't ever quit and your dream shall be yours.
Go for it, we all cheering for u
I hope you'll become what you desire but I suggest you to see far way better examples from Santiago. The future as you rightly sai is greem, his masterpieces are not future at all not only because the do not watch at the context around or the material.
Go on and never stop at one point, become a better architect, use his work as fuel to do astonishing things inspired by someone who didn't know very much how to do those things properly.
Best luck
debuild
Dammit, 2 years ago I seemed to clearly know what I wanted to do. Meanwhile now I'm confused as hell. Sure he inspires me yet but there's a giant web of resources everywhere about styles and examples... green is fine but somehow I wouldn't like to see it in every single area of a building. Balance is what we need. Anyways my mind right now is with robotic and space engineering.
WOW WOW WOW . PLEASE NEVER STOP YOUR CONTENT 🤯
Absolutely remarkable!!!!
Great film! Very inspirational.
For sure, one of the minds of our era. His creations show the endless possibilities of creativity. Kudos, Great Master!
THIS MAN IS GENIUS ARCHITECTURE:)Thank you Santiaga....
The music sounds like the departure of Max Ritcher
Beautiful work and soundtrack! Credit 11:10.
im crying after im watching thisss🤧
I had the same feeling and was like am i all right ♡
Inspirational . There were so many parts in this video , where I felt something ignite inside me .
Great point. I felt the same
Sueños y arte 😍
Excellent Really insightful and inspiring.
Extraordinary!
Is there a second part? Please?
Wooooww que increible, es un artista!!!! ;))))
For years I have been a fan of Calatrava. What a great man. A true artist. One of the great minds of our time. Visited his work in Valencia several times. Also the Liege train station, Lisbon train station, works in Barcelona and Zurich. Not only the architecture is great. The painting of the bulls inside Palau Reina Sofia or the details like the doorknobs. Impressive work. A shame the Montjuic tower and Bac de Roda bridge in Barcelona are in decline.
Amazing
Excelente ❤
Fine detailed video ❤️
very Inspiring! This makes the world a more positive place. thank you.
Wonderful. One of the greatest of our time.
Viraj THE FUCK HE IS ...U MORON
THIS IS AMAZING
WOW.
Phantastic work from an excellent architect. Chapeau. - Greez from Innsbruck
Как вы монтируете музыку голос видеоряд - it's art! Thank you veri mach! 💗
Better described as an artistic structural engineer; a rare one
I left comment here, so my friend can find me easily when he watch it for his task from his teacher.
@4:54 The Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden is a staggering building. I have a couple of friends who lives only a few hundred meters from it and see it every day from their apartment. I compulsively take a picture of it every time I visit them.
Yes, and being also a pioneering sustainability project too.
wow! genious
Why I am seeing this just now? I really have no idea...! Very insightful,Thank you...
Probably my favourite architect.
The best architect - Santiago Calatrava 👏👏👏
Who wrote the background music in this? I hope someone can tell me. Thanks.
Hi Leif - Tyler Strickland here - I wrote the music. You can find my work on Spotify! Thank you kindly.
Hi @@TheTJSTRICK, and can you please say what the name of the song in the end of the video? (3:09 and also 10:52) Didn't found it on your Spotify profile.. :(
I know everyone says it but NOWNESS.......please never stop!!!
incredible!!!
En mi facultad un grandioso arquitecto nos dijo: "mis referencias eran calatrava y estos mierdas, pero cuando creces ves que la inspiración es la gente"...
In my school everyone is brainwashed to like Corbusier. It kinda helped me to burst out of my bubble and move into engineering to have a real job
Love this content
woww
so special
I like his work. What I don't like is when things go wrong and that's when domes started to have leaks, ceramic falling from the roofs or bad planning choosing materials like the bridge in Bilbao with glass flooring in a city that rains constantly, well ,maybe he had a master plan and invested in hip prosthetic replacements... Or forgetting to make and access to wheel chairs in the one from Venize..
Not always his fault.
Agreed, But I also think that's what happens when you try and produce something unconventional. Anyone can design a concrete box and have all of the problems you have mentioned be completely eliminated, but then whats the point? Also, as more complex geometries get introduced into building projects the better we'll get at dealing with the problems that arise out of it. Takes time to create something beautiful.
No crees. Que sera problema del contructor?
@@1Bam712 yeah!!!
Exactly
wow
exquisite! loved it :)
wow his art and philosophy are both so beautiful
art? philosophy?
@@nunoviccente81 both absolutely
AMAZING!!!!!
Lo de Valencia:NEFASTO
It is unfortunate the The Oriente Train Station in Lisbon is rusting away . They never paint
beautiful
7:30 saw this in a dream today
ugh spider on my screen again
amzng.
I just wonder if he has ever met any deadline or if he has ever fit into the (always state) budget. Oviedo, Lisbon, Athens, ETH library and many other places say big hi to him.
Are you aware that construction of public spaces involves delays and budget mismanagement, there are also very difficult site issues with transportation hubs and items needing to connect. One of the most expensive star architects because he is not compromising esthetics, just suffers the process.
Yet one of the most commissioned one in the world. Go wonder!
who is the music by?
Hi Deadeandra - Very late response here.. but my name is Tyler Strickland, and I wrote the music for the film. You can find my work on Spotify :) Cheers -
Calatrava is a genius
After seeing this, how the heck did he fuck up the Ponte della Costituzione..
Is this a trailer?
Bewondering ook voor de mensen die zijn werk uitvoeren.
the legend
Santiago Calatrava, a genius passionated for his work. A legend that inspires a new generation. Santiago Calatrava es un genio apasionado por su trabajo, lo que hace, etc. Él es una legenda que inspira a una nueva generacion.
music in 8:40?
Hi Ferdinand - Tyler Strickland here. Late reply, but I wrote the music for this film :) You can find my work on Spotify. Many thanks!
3:40 hemispheric, Valencia
Brookfield Place ♥️
But Oculus too!
Nature is complex & functional = Nature is beautiful & astonishing .
Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S.
(So is Santiago Calatrava )
Great work sir
Beautiful.
Oh! that discreate charm of the bourgeoisie. L.B.
When architecture became sculpture, the wrong way. When the architect designs forms before functions, the same forms, again, again and again. Come to Venice, try the aesthetic experience of tumbling down from the artistic glass bridge, "drawn" by the great architect, with only form in mind, it's the best way for learning what architecture is, and what it's not.
The Modernism is dead!!! stop this bullsh1t about function. WE CONTEMPORARY GREAT ARCHICTECTS DGAFF ABOUT FUNCTION
Humility and 'for the people' so different from the arrogance of my art community selfishness etc.
G E N I O !!!!
"En la vida hay dos personas a las que les tienes que invertir mucho dinero sin pensarlo dos veces: a tu pareja y a tu abogado."
- Santiago Calatrava
excellent
The spiky ones look alien and threatening.
Not threatening at all. I guess everyone has different perceptions
Ese inglés macheteado xd
The Master.
10:23
Make we do volumes that hold memories...
To trap our fantasies of flight...of freedom...
In concrete...in steel they soar to heights...
That just before...were only imagined;
With pen...with paper, plans are created...
For armies of men to live...to work...to dream,
Sweat and toil they give...even drops of blood,
With willing spirit of promise...of dedication,
Welded and bent into boxes they make...
To guard even more memories of Journey...
Until storms of Nature...of men,
Test the sinews of their structural integrity,
Any compromise secretly made...
Goes flying thru the open air of Truth,
Twisted egos dot flatted canefields and brown oceans,
Make believe symbols of Power...of Suriety,
Surge forth Time...and weathered muscle,
Make of this battle a valliant effort...
But dust returns...always to its maker,
Memories fade...as they normally do...
But are kept in boxes crafted in Imagination's temples,
Make we do volumes meant to hold on...
Soon come...soon come does patiently wait its moment;
As Ego forever dot a landscape of Heaven.
His Ground Zero building is the only part of the complex that's aesthetically speaking not a waste of space.
Plus Calatrava’s Saint Nicholas Byzantine-inspired church getting ready soon. These two and the inverted pools, in my opinion.
Calatrava was one of the first contemporary architects to revive the “expressive modern” style of Saarinen and Oscar Niemeyer. While others continued to rework brutalist modern Calatrava explored fluid and playful forms. He’s made important contributions that have enriched the appeal and emotional element of design.
This is how modern buildings should be designed! Not the soulless brutalist buildings that oppress instead of inspire!
Simply and pure genius. He is the Michelangelo of the 21st century
He might have great intentions and might be an artist in his own right. Oculus turned out to be very different than how he seems to have imagined it, arguably due to many factors.
Kaaaaa
Worts architect ever!
sick
wings of a crow
Bajo la ley de Gestalt de continuidad se basaba para crear estás estructuras, facinante
Parece um dentista....kkkkkk
