Complete Works 1979–Today","description":"\u003cp\u003eSantiago Calatrava is world-renowned as an engineer, artist, and architect. From the Olympic Sports Complex in Athens 2004 to the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in Manhattan, he demonstrates a sensitive sense of the interplay between aesthetics and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe draws inspiration from many sources: Auguste Rodin’s approach to sculpture and architecture, as well as the principles of classicism and Greek Cycladic art. Nature, which he sees as both mother and teacher, and NASA’s spaceflight design also captivate him. Calatrava’s works are both aerodynamic and organic. Natural forms and human movements shape his projects, with the interface of balance and dynamics particularly fascinating him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis monograph explores Calatrava’s buildings through detailed entries, photographs, and his distinctive watercolor sketches. It includes early buildings such as the Mediopadana station in Reggio Emilia and the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, as well as recent projects like the United Arab Emirates Pavilion for Expo 2020 in Dubai, St. Nicholas Greek Church at Ground Zero in New York, and the Constellation sculpture in River Point Park in Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available as a limited Art Edition of 300 copies, with two signed lithographs by Santiago Calatrava and a custom-made box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57131200512344,"sku":"9783836587099","price":200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9783836587099.jpg?v=1776462820"},{"product_id":"shigeru-ban-complete-works-1985-today","title":"Shigeru Ban. Complete Works 1985–Today","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor Philip Jodidio embarks on a journey through the world of Shigeru Ban. He explores newly opened, highly anticipated buildings, shares his outlook on the future of the Shigeru Ban studio, and thus creates a global and timeless overview of the career of the Japanese architect. This monograph invites you to follow the development of an artist regarded as a guarantor of architectural marvels unmatched in innovation, elegance, and sensitivity. In addition to early works where Ban established paper tubes as structural elements and unmistakable houses like the Curtain Wall House in Tokyo, the volume also presents recent projects, including the Swatch\/Omega Campus in Switzerland, a two-story penthouse on the roof of a 140-year-old New York landmark, and La Seine Musicale, a concert hall integrated into Jean Nouvel’s master plan on the Ile Séguin in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBan’s work primarily seeks to understand. How do buildings function? How can waste materials be upgraded through reuse? He formulates answers as inventive solutions, such as the use of paper as a building material. Throughout his career, Ban, who early on became a symbolic figure of Japanese architecture, has remained true to his unique architectural signature that distinguishes his projects worldwide. However, fame and honor did not prevent the Pritzker Prize winner from dedicating his talent and creativity to people in need. He designed refugee shelters in Rwanda and Sri Lanka and enabled the rapid construction of emergency shelters in the crisis areas of Fukushima and Ukraine using his paper tube technique. With his solution-oriented, generous, and elegant approach, Shigeru Ban shapes humanitarian architecture and continually redefines the boundaries of his field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57131200610648,"sku":"9783836589345","price":200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9783836589345.jpg?v=1776462821"},{"product_id":"ando-complete-works-1975-today-2023-edition-xl","title":"Ando: Complete Works 1975–Today. 2023 Edition (XL)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiscover the unique aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only architect awarded the four most prestigious prizes in his field: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Kyoto Prize, and Praemium Imperiale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis updated comprehensive overview spans the full range of Ando’s work, including stunning new projects such as the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and the Nakanoshima Children’s Book Forest in Osaka.
