Description

Santiago Calatrava established his reputation as the pre-eminent engineer of our time with a stunning series of bridges designed for cities around the globe. He has revolutionized the idea of bridges, turning them into elegant objects that combine technology with poetry to enhance their settings.

This authoritative volume offers an overview of the creative evolution of his unique contribution to the development of bridges, paying equal attention to their technical, cultural and social significance.

More than thirty celebrated bridges are featured here including never-before-published projects such as the Trinity River Signature Bridges in Dallas, Texas, the Sundial Bridge in Redding, California, and the Bridges over the Hoofdvaart in the Netherlands, as well as bridges in Barcelona, Bilbao, Buenos Aires, Jerusalem, Manchester, Orlans, Seville, Valencia and Venice.
