Profile
 

Santiago Calatrava

Recent Visiting Professor of Architecture

 
     
  Calatrava was born in Spain and schooled first as an artist in Valencia. He next pursued architecture studies at the Escuela Tecnica Superior de Arquitectura de Valencia, and qualified as an architect in 1974. From 1975 to 1981, at the ETH in Zurich, Calatrava studied Civil Engineering, earning his doctorate with a thesis on the foldability of spaceframes. He founded a practice in Zurich and later opened an office in Paris. Calatrava's award-winning work, from sculptures to bridges, has been widely exhibited and published. His 1997 lectures at MIT are being edited for publication now, and we look forward to the Calatrava Lectures 2000 this fall.
