Santiago Calatrava: finding architecture's soul

[TiiRR]

what does he mean by buildings having a less of an impact on their surroundings?

[garycalgary]

he designed a $24 million bridge here in Calgary and it looks amazing. It will open soon. It's red and looks like a chinese finger trap

a friend bought a magazine all about santiago calatrava. His designs are inspired by human forms. For all you know, he designed the "turning torso"...amazing, yes!!!

“The most touching thing that anyone can say to me is that I have done something beautiful for the community.” - SANTIAGO CALATRAVA.... I could not agree less... His designs are out of the ordinary, they are not just beautiful, they are fantastic!!!

I wanted to hear about architecture, instead I get a leftist political lecture. Such a shame, he is a really good architect.

[christosxe]

@gdbalck any form of pure art (without the influence of the capital) lies on the same principles as 'left wing' political ideas. This is a fact, note though that there are exceptions....

[gdbalck]

@christosxe Opinions are just that, not facts my friend. Lest we forget the millennia of art concieved prior to the modern leftist ideologies.

[christosxe]

@gdbalck True... but that does not change the fact that both share common principles. I did not say that art is based on leftist political ideas, but both have common principles c.f. main art movements. Yet again art or artists should not be discriminated -or judged- by their views either leftist or rightist. Note both 'sides' have something to give.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO. WITH THE SITUATION OF THE ECOLOGY, I THINK SUSTAINABILITY SHOULD BE THE 4TH PILLAR OF ARCHITECTURE THAT ARCHITECTS SHOULD CONSIDER. I SAW ONE OF CALATRAVA'S WORK HERE IN TORONTO, AND IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO.
