Individual architects & architectural firms; History of architecture

Series: 45th Edition

Santiago Calatrava is a

world-renowned architect, structural engineer, sculptor, and artist.

From the Athens 2004 Olympic Sports Complex to the World Trade Center

Transportation Hub in Manhattan, he exhibits a remarkable twin prowess

for aesthetics and engineering, a simultaneous sensitivity to both the appearance and the anatomy of a structure.

His

influences are wide-ranging: Auguste Rodin's approach to sculpture and

architecture, principles of classicism and Greek Cycladic art, NASA

space design, and a deep admiration for nature, which he regards as both

mother and teacher. Thus, Calatrava's creations are at once aerodynamic and organic

in their associations, with natural forms and human movement informing

many of his projects. He takes a particular interest in the meeting

point of equilibrium and dynamism.

This compact monograph gathers detailed entries, photography, and the original watercolor sketches

that set Calatrava aside as a unique creative master. It includes many of his original collaborative input, and projects such as the Mediopadana Station in Reggio Emilia, Italy, the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, as well as recent works like the UAE Pavilion at Expo 2020 in Dubai, St. Nicholas Greek Church at Ground Zero in New York and Constellation, a large sculpture at River Point Park in Chicago.
