內容簡介
內容簡介 最有生命的建築，集結建築詩人聖地牙哥‧卡拉特拉瓦在建築、藝術及工程學的高超之作聖地牙哥•卡拉特拉瓦(Santiago Calatrava)是世界當代最活躍的科學建築師，他還有工程師、雕塑家及藝術家等多重身份。從2004年驚艷世界的雅典奧運主場館到紐約世界貿易中心轉運站，他的建築作品充分展現力與美，讓冷硬的建築增添柔和及感性的氛圍。受到太空科學及達文西自然主義的影響，卡拉特拉瓦獨創一種融合空氣動力學及仿生的建築設計，他多數的建築作品都有美麗的弧線，而這些弧線多取材於人體自然的線條，他認為美學可以由力學的工程設計來表現，就像自然界中林木蟲鳥的美感也多來自本身力學的需求，因此自然萬物也常常成為他創作靈感的來源。書中收錄卡拉特拉瓦從1979年至今的所有建築作品，包括最新作品：加拿大和平大橋、及義大利的Mediopadana高鐵車站等Masterful formArchitecture, art, and engineeringSantiago Calatrava is renowned around the world as an architect, structural engineer, sculptor, and artist. From the Athens 2004 Olympic sports complex to the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in Manhattan, he exhibits a remarkable aesthetic and engineering prowess with a simultaneous sensitivity for both the appearance and the anatomy of a structure.With influences ranging from NASA space design to da Vinci s nature studies, Calatrava s creations are at once aerodynamic and organic in their associations. Natural forms and human movements inform a number of his projects, with a particular interest in the meeting point of equilibrium and dynamism.This updated monograph includes all of Calatrava s original collaborative input, as well as a number of new projects including the Peace Bridge in Calgary, Canada; the Conference and Exhibition Center in Oviedo, Spain; and the Mediopadana Station in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
