{"product_id":"calatrava-philip-jodidio-9783836535656","title":"Calatrava","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpanish visionary Santiago Calatrava is renowned around the world as an architect, structural engineer, sculptor, and artist. Famed for bridges as much as buildings, he has made his name with neofuturistic structures that combine deft engineering solutions with dramatic visual impact. From the Athens 2004 Olympic sports complex and the Museum of Tomorrow to the Peace Bridge in Calgary, Alamillo Bridge in Seville, and the Mujer Bridge in Buenos Aires, Calatrava's creations show particular interest in the meeting point of movement and balance. With influences ranging from NASA space design to da Vinci's nature studies, the structures dazzle with a sense of lightness, agility, and aerodynamism, but always with a graceful poise amid their particular surroundings. This compact introduction explores Calatrava's unique aesthetic with key projects from his career, from early breakthroughs to his most recent work. Through buildings of culture, science, faith, and across his many famous bridges, we explore his integration of organic forms and human movements, and a uniquely fluid futurism, soaring towards tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Jodidio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3836535653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836535656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Taschen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 8.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Philip Jodidio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048021356799,"sku":"9783836535656","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c894b49b-0a3f-4084-9569-cca420999532.jpg?v=1684993445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/calatrava-philip-jodidio-9783836535656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
