Santiago Calatrava is a Spanish architect, sculptor and engineer worth knowing about. His organic, futuristic designs are poetry via construction and structure. His work feels so good to look at because it fuses the expressionism of sculpture with the realism of engineering.https://twitter.com/archisound/status/1142648857521582080 …

Calatrava is indeed excellent; prior to my journey in games I was once on a path to being an architect predominantly inspired by Foster and Gehry too.

He is also a shady guy who scammed millions in spanish public projects that ended up more than triplicating budgets, shaking hands with corrupt governments while evading every possible tax.

Tbh a lot of famous architects were pretty scummy people. Frank Lloyd Wright was awful.

There is one thing that I still remember very vividly from my Architecture degree days, and that is how everyone at school consistently agreed on how bad an example his designs were :/ I do agree on the sculpture-like characteristics of his work

Why did they think that? Personally I find his work much more exiting than some other architects who use organic shapes (e.g. Gehry) because Calatravas shapes express underlying structural forces - like the work of Gaudi, Saarinen, Nervi, etc.
