Calatrava Santiago. 45th Ed.

Complete Works 1979–Today

Santiago Calatrava (1951) 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 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.
