Santiago Calatrava is a Spanish architect.
Born: July 28th 1951, Valencia, Spain
Calatrava's unique and highly influential style combines a striking visual artistic style with a solid knowledge of engineering. Often inspired by natural forms such as the cantilevered skeletons of dinosaurs, his works have elevated the design of such mundane civil engineering projects such as bridges to new heights.
