How does Calatrava blend engineering and art in his designs?
My process begins with an intuitive, often organic, conceptual vision. I then engage in rigorous engineering analysis to ensure the feasibility and integrity of these forms. It's not about art being applied to engineering, or vice versa, but about their inherent unity. I see structural elements as expressive components, capable of conveying movement and lightness, transforming the practical requirements of a building into an aesthetic experience.
