ArchDaily Interviews: Santiago Calatrava

[@prettywoman1037]

cómo he esperado este momento, es cierto que muchas de sus obras tienen ciertas carencias y defectos, pero no se puede negar que tiene un don para el diseño que pocas veces se encuentra y además tenemos la suerte de que sea español :)

calatrava: buen escultor, mal arquitecto poco funcional y poco ingenioso

[@mr.monochrome1332]

I like his mobile inspired structures he designed

[@aymericzambo1914]

My main question is since he is an architect and structural engineer how does he engage in the work flow? Like does he sign both architectural and engineering drawings or?

[@PSGaming-jk3iz]

Nope, he study civil engineering because he wants to know about that field not because he wants to be an engineer. He is practicing architecture now so technically saying he’s and architect that knows a lot of about engineering. He employe both architect and engineer so those people handle the job

I need a research report about Santiago calatrava

[@elisaluziahilariodeoliveir7712]

[@abdurrachmandaenginayat8211]

[@voicetube]

If I were Elon Musk, I would probably hire or at least champion this guy to design either the first or several hyperlink stations :-)

[@emilien2555]

The word “art” is derived from the Latin ars, which originally meant “skill” or “craft.” . Architecture is a group of skills of somones brains and mind to make a building beggining on paper from a line.

Se entiende

[@SpatialSnowflake]

Sig. Calatrava started in art school then switched to architecture then switched to civil engineering...it's almost always the reverse! :P

this guy designed the worst bridge ever in venice

[@Ozblu3y]

which one?

[@ciprianoroi]

What's the name of the bridge?

[@voicetube]

@@Ozblu3y I think he may be referring to what some people call "The Lobster Bridge" - I personally don't hate it but I like the bridge he designed here in Dallas Texas a little better (actually a couple of them) including the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge - check that one out (no lobsters here :-)

[@meistsyans7708]

@@voicetube the problem is he didn't care about context. The bridge is very beautiful by itself, it's just not for venice. I don't know why the venice government approved it.
