Santiago Calatrava Boeken

These two volumes provide a comprehensive documentation of the creative processes which underlie Santiago Calatrava s diverse and prolific architectural ouput, featuring his personal thoughts, unique documents and analyses. The first volume presents Calatrava s doctoral thesis which combines the varying disciplines of engineering, mathematics and architecture. In the second volume, three of Calatrava s key sketch books are presented, capturing the essence of his more experimental, biomorphic, surreal, metaphorical, and analogical thinking. In this publication, the editors examine the hypothesis that both analytical and analogical tendencies are evident in Calatrava s creative work. The volumes provide a unique glimpse into the mind of this architect where opposites seem to form a rare synthesis and give rise to works of the highest quality.

A classic, prize-winning novel about an epic migration and a lone woman haunted by the past in frontier Waipu. In the 1850s, a group of settlers established a community at Waipu in the northern part of New Zealand. They were led there by a stern preacher, Norman McLeod. The community had followed him from Scotland in 1817 to found a settlement in Nova Scotia, then subsequently to New Zealand via Australia. Their incredible journeys actually happened, and in this winner of the New Zealand Book Awards, Fiona Kidman breathes life and contemporary relevance into the facts by creating a remarkable fictional story of three women entangled in the migrations - Isabella, her daughter Annie and granddaughter Maria. McLeod's harsh leadership meant that anyone who ran counter to him had to live a life of secrets. The 'secrets' encapsulated the spirit of these women in their varied reactions to McLeod's strict edicts and connect the past to the present and future.

Includes an essay by Lyall Sutherland and texts by Tischhauser, Anthony; Kobler, Tristan; and Bosma, Koos. Features numerous illustrations.

Santiago Calatrava je nejen jeden z nejvýznamnějších světových architektů, ale také konstruktér, sochař a malíř. Pověst nepřekonatelného architekta a stavitele stvrdil četnými projekty mostů po celém světě. Projekty z poslední doby - olympijský stadion v Athénách nebo nová železniční stanice v belgickém Lutychu, si vybudoval jméno v Evropě. Jeho práce na poli architektury úzce souvisí s kresbami lidského těla a se skulpturami geometrických tvarů, kterým se také věnuje a jež jsou inspirovány dynamikou, pohybem a napětím. Calatrava, nositel zlaté medaile American Institute of Architects z roku 2005 a jediný architekt, který kdy vystavoval v Museum of Modern Art a Metropolitan Museum of Art v New Yorku, je jedním z největších a nejavantgardnějších architektů dneška.
