Architectural context

About Santiago Calatrava

Santiago Calatrava (born 1951) is a Spanish-Swiss architect and structural engineer whose buildings fuse engineering with sculptural, often skeletal, forms. The catalogue holds 1 of his works: the Montjuïc Communications Tower in Barcelona, a Futurist and Expressionist steel structure built for the 1992 Olympic Games — a leaning spire that doubles as a sundial, its shadow tracing the hours across the Olympic plaza.
