Santiago Calatrava Valls, Spanish Swiss architect, engineer, sculptor and painter has been the most inspirational figure in my design journey for many many years!

In my words, his designs are a fusion of art, poetry and engineering touching one’s mind, heart and soul all at the same time!

I with Nandita Bhatt IAP feel so lucky to be there to witness two of his works on our trip to Barcelona last week.

Sharing some of my photographs of the TV tower at the Barcelona Olympic Complex and a bridge at Pont De’ Calatrava on the outskirts of Barcelona.

Two of the his quotes will give you a bit of insight into his genius mind!

“What I do is the opposite of building walls. I build bridges. A bridge is something that connects instead of separating.”

“Architecture is a code. It’s a pure code, derived from the dimensions of nature.”
Santiago Calatrava
