Santiago Calatrava first made a name for himself in the late 1980s
with delicately designed structures in Zurich that seem to grow out
of the earth. He went on to create a series of highly innovative,
iconic bridges across Europe, and in recent years he has drawn
attention for such large-scale projects as the City of Arts and
Sciences in his birth town, Valencia; the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio
de Janeiro; and the World Transportation Hub at Ground Zero in New
York. Originally trained as an engineer, Calatrava has, at heart,
always leaned more towards artistic endeavours than purely
structural ones: an entire floor of his residence in Zurich is
devoted to creating paintings and sculpture, which he has pursued
throughout his career. His influences range from art history and
natural philosophy to antiquity, and he manages to combine these in
buildings that are structurally highly stylized yet somehow
timeless. While many books have documented Calatrava's output over
the years, this is the first to offer his own thoughts, in his own
words, in a reading format. In this heartfelt memoir of an
architect of singular conviction, Calatrava's inspirations, lessons
and achievements will touch every reader, whether aspiring
architect or lover of art and nature.
