Book Santiago Calatrava: Impossible Collection by Assouline
Description
One of the world's most sought-after architects, Spanish-born Santiago Calatrava is the mastermind behind some of the world's most magnificent structures. Inspired by the human body and the natural world, his works imitate the shapes and movements of organic entities, sometimes suggesting flight or spiritual elevation. This exquisite volume not only presents the architect's most breathtaking masterpieces in architecture and engineering, drawing and sculpture, but reveals for the first time his humanist spirit and eclectic intellectual curiosity, and allows us to discover his references, influences and inspirations. From an opera house in his hometown of Valencia, Spain, to the Olympic sports complex in Athens, to the famous Turning Torso skyscraper in Sweden, Calatrava's legacy as one of the most highlights of contemporary architecture is undeniable. This work includes a catalog raisonné of all the architectural creations of Santiago Calatrava.
White gloves and an iconic canvas tote bag are included with every purchase of Assouline's ultimate collection.
