Product Description

Santiago Calatrava offers in his numerous buildings, engineering projects, sculptures and furniture designs, a cultural vision that unifies art, science and technology. This work presents the Spanish architect's oeuvre and ideas in the context of contemporary architecture and society. His demanding technical projects are shown to spark off highly abstract sculptural essays, which in turn serve as a research laboratory for the development of innovative engineering. After tracing the roots of Calatrava's design in Spanish traditions and 20th-century intellectual struggles, the author focuses on the development of major infrastructure projects and urban complexes where pragmatic efficiency and technical rationality are combined with engineering and aesthetics. The book discusses approximately 25 projects, including his most recent work, fully documented with photographs, drawings and sketches. Calatrava's work can be interpreted as a paradigm for contemporary design: this book shows that to achieve more integrated cities and landscapes, current boundaries between art, architecture and engineering must be blurred.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must!, 6 April 2009

By	Aleksander Pieri "Alexande_Involver" (Croatia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You may not Calatrava's work, but this book is beautifuly written. A truly philosophical and ethic txt about how a true architect should think and apply that philosophy on his creative work (that is not the case in a mass production of ugly estate that rise like mushrooms everwhere in few years). Im a designer, interestend in architecture, and this book is a joy to read and the writings here can be used for any discipline from graphic design to music....
