Calatrava Buch

Über das Buch: Whether a museum, sacred building, hypermodern high-rise, or one of his famous bridges: Santiago Calatrava's neo-futuristic buildings combine organic forms with sophisticated technical solutions and soar in a daring leap towards the future – complex, spectacular, unique. An encounter with one of the most innovative architects of our time.

Biography: Santiago Calatrava was born in Valencia, Spain, in 1951. He studied at the ETSA in Valencia and received his doctorate from ETH Zurich, where he founded his own architecture and structural engineering firm in 1981. His most famous buildings include the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Opera House in Valencia, the Olympic Sports Facilities in Athens, and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in New York. The architect, artist, and engineer now has offices in New York, Dubai, and Zurich.
Philip Jodidio studied art history and economics at Harvard and was editor-in-chief of the French art magazine Connaissance des Arts for over two decades. His TASCHEN publications include the Homes for Our Time series and monographs on numerous important architects, including Norman Foster, Tadao Ando, Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel, and Zaha Hadid.
Peter Gössel runs an agency for museum and exhibition design. For TASCHEN, he has published monographs on Julius Shulman, R. M. Schindler, John Lautner, and Richard Neutra, as well as several architecture titles in the Little Series.
