Sketches, Structure and Site Plans Illuminate Calatrava work,
By Kristina Kaur (Los Angeles, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Berlin: Five Projects / Fünf Projekte (English and German Edition) (Hardcover)
In architecture and engineering we often see the finished product of the masters. The strength of this book is the sketches, architectural models and interview with Calatrava which explain the projects. The projects are Spandau Station, Jahn Sports Park, Kronprinzenbrücke (bridge), Oberbaumbrücke (bridge), and the Reichstag. The book has beautifully reproduced hand drawn ink drawings-plans, sections, details, elevations (presumably from Calatrava's office), as well as photos, engineering explanations, and historical background. I compared Calatrava's Reichstag to Sir Norman Fosters. I would like to see the two built bridges in Berlin and compare them to the nuts and bolts details in the book. And after I studied the hardlined ink drawings, something always draws me back to the napkin sketches-they capture the essence .
