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":174.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9783836587099.jpg?v=1776462820","url":"https:\/\/www.plasticbooks.uk\/en\/products\/calatrava-complete-works-1979-today","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
