Santiago Calatrava

Spanish - Architect Born: July 28, 1951

With the author

When I was in architecture school, I became curious about the exact mathematics, physics, and construction of the great structures I had been studying. I wanted to know how these amazing things would work: the Pantheon, the dome of Michelangelo, the dome of Brunelleschi. So I decided to study civil engineering.

Santiago Calatrava

What architecture does is what a coat does for our body. It wraps us.

Santiago Calatrava

I don't see any difference between architecture and engineering. It's the same profession.

Santiago Calatrava

Architecture is a code. It's a pure code, derived from the dimensions of nature.

Santiago Calatrava

The difference between architecture and engineering comes in only with the creation of schools. It's a bureaucratic distinction. The result of both disciplines is the construction of objects in a landscape.

Same category

I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design, and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end, I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture.

Ai Weiwei

The dialogue between client and architect is about as intimate as any conversation you can have, because when you're talking about building a house, you're talking about dreams.

Robert A. M. Stern

In Zagreb, the Old Town really could be Prague. You go two hours to the coast to Opatija, and you really could be in the South of France, in the Croatian Riviera. And then you head down the coast towards Split, and you get into more Turkish architecture, so you can double Istanbul.

James Watkins

I read whenever possible, and I buy books all the time, sometimes online, but mostly from bookshops. I love literature. If you want to understand art, it's important to understand what is also happening in literature, in music, in science, in architecture.

Hans-Ulrich Obrist

Yet for my part, deeply as I am moved by the religious architecture of the Middle Ages, I cannot honestly say that I ever felt the slightest emotion in any modern Gothic church.

Goldwin Smith

The imperial vastness of late Roman architecture was made possible by the invention of concrete.

Iain McGilchrist

The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.

Tadao Ando

Architects today tend to depreciate themselves, to regard themselves as no more than just ordinary citizens without the power to reform the future.
