I guess the best way for an architect to be a sculptor is to become an engineer also ? just to save time and stress, i just wish education would become more and more multidisciplinary, to encourage more creative buildings and healthy smart cities.

Simply entranched by the beautiful lines that Calatrava can coax out of materials!

Hope that sometime in my lifetime that ability to transform not only the structure, it’s surroundings & the materials, but the influence on perception & feeling of the onlooker, will be within my understanding.
It is truly a talent that I aspire to achieve.

so interesting. me, as one of the fans of calatrava`s design, so glad every time i see ur new design. with your way of design in using material. and create it at your own way. so that it gives a new taste to the surrounding. dont know why this design represented what is inside.

hopefully i could learn from you.

best regard,
