Epilogue : "where / and you meet."
Santiago Calatrava established his reputation as the pre-eminent engineer of our time with a stunning series of bridges designed for cities around the globe." "This authoritative volume focuses on Calatrava as a designer of bridges and offers an overview of the creative evolution of his unique contribution to their development, paying equal attention to their technical, cultural and social significance. More than thirty celebrated bridges are featured here in drawings and full-colour photography, including never-before-published projects such as the Trinity River Signature Bridges in Dallas, Texas, the Sundial Bridge in Redding, California, and the Bridges over the Hoofdvaart in the Netherlands, as well as bridges in Barcelona, Bilbao, Buenos Aires, Jerusalem, Manchester, Orleans, Seville, Valencia and Venice."--Jacket
