"Very few designers in this century - a century dominated by specialization and fragmentation - can be called universal, but Santiago Calatrava is one of these few. In his numerous buildings, engineering projects, sculptures, and furniture designs, this Spanish architect whose practice is based in Switzerland has developed a unique poetics of morphology that overlaps structure and movement."--BOOK JACKET. "The book features thirty-five projects, fully documented with photographs, drawings, and sketches. Included are Calatrava's most recent works - the Milwaukee Art Museum Addition and the Orient Station in Lisbon - and his best known, from the Montjuie Tower to the Alameda Bridge."--Jacket.
