This book is a unique view of a creative endeavour that has set standards for the architects and designers of the future. * For his inspiration, Calatrava draws on organic, human and zoomorphic shapes such as ribs, bones, or insect eyes and has fascinated many with the lightness of his touch in transferring small format models in wood and metal into immense constructions. i.e.: The telecommunications tower in Barcelona and the Expo bridge in Seville to Bilbao airport * Satolas railway station in Lyon is one of the uncontested masterpieces of star architect Santiago Calatrava, and surely one of the master achievements of contemporary architecture anywhere.
