The architect, engineer, sculptor, and artist showcases early collaborations and his most recent works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSantiago 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis  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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9783754404614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: Multilingual edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 03 Jun 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Taschen GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: Cologne, Germany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 21.7(H)x15.6(L)x3.4(W)1136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 1136\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003ePhilip Jodidio studied art history and economics at Harvard and edited Connaissance des Arts for over 20 years.
