Santiago Calatrava is among the most important and influential architects of our times. His candid architecture is polarizing yet unmistakable. The trademark of the Spanish architect are sculptural bridge designs that gained international acclaim as a symbiosis of elegant shape vocabulary and engineering master feats and that shape the cityscapes in locations such as Jerusalem, Venice, and Dallas.

This book is a special homage to his

work: Santiago Calatrava in person talks about the visions on artistic architectural philosophies behind his unparalleled bridge designs. He also contributes many descriptions of implemented

and unimplemented projects, which, together with first drafts, water color paintings, as well as high-quality photographs and renderings, document the selected projects.

"Santiago Calatrava is a highly revered architect, who has received many distinctions as well as awards and honorary doctorates. Born in Valencia in 1951, he initially studied architecture at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in his hometown, followed by constructional engineering at the ETH Zurich. He established his own company in 1981, which today has subsidiaries in Dubai and New York. His most important current major work is the transportation hub at the Ground Zero in New York with its characteristic ""oculus"" hall, which was inaugurated in 2016."
