Santiago 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.

His 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.

This 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 scultpure at River Point Park in Chicago.

Santiago Calatrava es un arquitecto, ingeniero estructural, escultor y artista de fama internacional. Desde el Complejo Deportivo Olímpico de Atenas 2004 hasta el Centro de Transporte del World Trade Center en Manhattan, exhibe una extraordinaria destreza en lo estético y en lo ingenieril y una gran sensibilidad tanto para la apariencia como para la anatomía de una estructura.

Sus influencias son muy variadas: El enfoque de Auguste Rodin de la escultura y la arquitectura, los principios del clasicismo y del arte cicládico griego, el diseño espacial de la NASA y una profunda admiración por la naturaleza, a la que considera madre y maestra. Así, las creaciones de Calatrava son a la vez aerodinámicas y orgánicas en sus asociaciones, con las formas naturales y el movimiento humano en el corazón de muchos de sus proyectos. Tiene un interés particular en el punto de encuentro del equilibrio y el dinamismo.

Esta compacto monografía reúne textos, fotografías y bocetos originales en acuarela que distinguen a Calatrava como un maestro creativo único. Incluye muchas de sus aportes a trabajos colaborativos y proyectos como la Estación Mediopadana en Reggio Emilia, Italia, el Museo del Mañana en Río de Janeiro, así como obras recientes, como el Pabellón de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos en la Expo 2020 celebrada en Dubái, la Iglesia Griega de San Nicolás en la Zona Cero de Nueva York y Constellation, una gran escultura en el River Point Park de Chicago.
