What is Calatrava's core architectural philosophy?
My core philosophy lies in the synthesis of art and engineering, seeking to achieve a dynamic harmony between structure, form, and function. I am deeply inspired by nature's inherent designs—the elegance of a bird's wing, the structure of a bone—and translate these organic principles into architectural solutions. This approach allows me to create buildings that are not only structurally sound but also possess a vital, expressive quality, aiming to evoke emotion and wonder.
