The modernity of beauty
By Serghiou Const
Santiago Calatrava is an unusually talented architect. His architectural creations possess an awe inspiring beauty, elegance and purity.The richly illustrated slim volume had on me an immense aesthetic and emotional impact. The spare text was insightful.The book comprise an Introduction and the main body with the description of 19 projects illustrated with magnificent photographs but also sketches of the projects along with textual description of the underlying philosophy and guiding principles for each project.The introduction includes information on the training of the architect comprising Art and Architecture in Spain and a Ph.D degree in civil engineering from the prestigious Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. As the architect explains, his creations emanate from a fusion of his three capacities namely those of the artist, architect and engineer. In an interview he describes his work as an "interwinement of plastic expression and structural revelation, producing results that possibly can be best described as a synthesis of aesthetics and structural Physics."The architect acknowledges that his taste for simplicity in engineering otiginates from his observation of the work of the Swiss engineer Robert Maillart. With simple forms Maillart showed that it is possible to create a strong content and to elicit an emotional response. But though the architect admires the work of Maillart, still he differentiates his own work and particularly bridges. Maillart's bridges, observes Calatrava, are often set in a beautiful mountain scenery. His achievement was to introduce successfully an artificial element into such magnificent locations. Today, he observes, I believe that one of the important tasks is to reconsider the periphery of cities. Most often public works in such areas are purely functional, and yet even near railroad tracks, or spanning polluted rivers, bridges can have a remarkably positive effect. By creating an appropriate environment, they can have a symbolic impact whose ramifications go far beyond their immediate location. Calatrava's works are uplifting and even in purely fubctional projects such as a railway station or an auditorium he has the ability to add a dimension of spirituality.Works presented include a number of bridges which constitute something of a signature design of the architect with an elegance bordering on the ethereal belying their underlying solidity; railway sations including the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, New York; Airport Communication Towers; the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee; the Tenerife Auditorium, Santa Cruz de Tenerife; and the Olympic Sport Complex, Athens.

extraordinary architecture
By kkbs
This book presents 40 works of the Spanish architekt, from bridges and subway stations to opera houses (Valencia) and very original skyscrapers (which however - with the exception of the turning torso im Malmö - are still studies). Only in the attachment all objects of Calatrava are listed, so subtitling the book "complete works" is overdoing it a bit. The explanations on the presented objects are rather short (as there are trialingual in EN/GE/FR), and sometimes a few more details might have been interesting. The leading role in this book anyway are the nice photographies and the sketches of the individual objects. If this makes it coffee table book, so be it. Calatrava has a very distinct and extraordinary style, bringing science fiction to mind and making its objects looking nearly lifelike. If you like this style and considering the rather modest price this book is a worthwhile buy.

A neat,glamourous and simple book
By Leonardo Scalfi
I found this little book definitely satisfying, and its quality/price ratio excellent, as it always is for Taschen editions.A sensible introduction gives an interesting and not boring coverage of who Calatrava is as an architect and as a man,and what kind of curriculum lead him to what he is today.Afer this, come a series of short ( 2-4 pages)monographic pieces on his most significant works, from the early '80s to our days.The number and quality of photographs is also excellent and they explain along with the text what is really important in each work.Absolutely commendable!
