From the <strong>Athens 2004 Olympic sports complex</strong> to the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in Manhattan, he exhibits a remarkable aesthetic and engineering prowess with a simultaneous <strong>sensitivity for both the appearance and the anatomy of a structure.</strong><br /><br />With influences ranging from NASA space design to da Vinci’s nature studies, Calatrava’s creations are at once <strong>aerodynamic and organic</strong> in their associations. Natural forms and human movements inform a number of his projects, with a particular interest in the meeting point of <strong>equilibrium and dynamism</strong>.<br /><br />This updated monograph includes all of Calatrava’s original collaborative input, as well as a number of new projects including the <strong>Peace Bridge in Calgary</strong>, Canada; the <strong>Conference and Exhibition Center in Oviedo</strong>, Spain; and the <strong>Mediopadana Station in Reggio Emilia</strong>, Italy.</div> <div class="margin-bottom"> </div> Text in English, French, and German</div>
