Famed for bridges as much as buildings, he has made his name with neofuturistic structures that combine deft engineering solutions with dramatic visual impact. From the Athens 2004 Olympic sports complex and the Museum of Tomorrow to the Peace Bridge in Calgary, Alamillo Bridge in Seville, and the Mujer Bridge in Buenos Aires, Calatrava’s creations show particular interest in the meeting point of movement and balance. With influences ranging from NASA space design to da Vinci’s nature studies, the structures dazzle with a sense of lightness, agility, and aerodynamism, but always with a graceful poise amid their particular surroundings. This compact introduction explores Calatrava’s unique aesthetic with key projects from his career, from early breakthroughs to his most recent work. Through buildings of culture, science, faith, and across his many famous bridges, we explore his integration of organic forms and human movements, and a uniquely fluid futurism, soaring towards tomorrow.Language: GermanCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 260mmItem Length: 210mmItem Weight: 588gAuthor: Philip JodidioIllustrator: Santiago CalatravaContributor: Santiago Calatrava (Illustrated by), Peter Gössel (Edited by)Genre: Arts & PhotographyBook Series: Basic ArtRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
