Santiago Calatrava. With more than ten years having passed since the 'case' of Calatrava was introduced into the international debate, it remains as relevant as ever to ask the same questions posed back then regarding an artistic personality and oeuvre still capable of provoking such heated and contradictory reactions from critics, the general public, and contemporary architectural culture alike. The extremism of the positions assumed by those faced with Calatrava's work compels us inevitably to investigate a phenomenon that intersects with the redefinition of the relationship between art and technology, or more specifically, between architecture and engineering, not to mention the crisis of the professions and their social credibility.

"This is the first time that I have made the commitment to give a series of talks with the specific intention of communicating my experience. The things I am saying, I am saying for the next generation-people who will set and invent other styles and who will find their own way, just as I have integrated the works of those who have been working before me."-from Santiago Calatrava: Conversations with StudentsWith these words, Santiago Calatrava launched a recent series of lectures at MIT filled with insight, anecdote, and hard information about the practice of design. As the most important figure at the intersection of architecture and engineering, Calatrava reflects on his person path and ties it to his design work. Includes original sketches by Calatrava.

"There are very few designers in this century, a century dominated by specialization and fragmentation, who can be called universal. Santiago Calatrava is one of these few. In his numerous buildings, bridges, engineering projects, sculptures, and furniture he has succeeded in developing a unique poetics of morphology which meshes structure and movement - a poetics of movement - and offers a cultural vision that overcomes the abyss separating art from science and technology. This publication is in conjunction with a major exhibition, of the same title, held to inaugurate a new building for the Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University. While the emphasis is on Calatrava's architecture and bridges, his prowess as a sculptor and draftsman is also represented. Conception of the exhibition was by Alexander Tzonis, who also served as curator. The ample illustrations cover major projects from throughout Calatrava's career." --
