This is a very thorough book on an amazing architect. Calatrava is a highly original architect and most of his work is nothing short of breathtaking. The photography in this book really captures the magic of his sculptures. That is what his buildings really are; great works of art. This book covers his work in detail and the text is informative. I appreciated that a model of the station at the World Trade Center site is included, one really hopes it gets build just as designed. I highly recommend this book to anyone intersted in great architecture, this man is a singular talent.

This is an excellent book, You will read about his biography and all his works, including some skeatches of the creative process.

Very inspirtational due to having watercolor sketches showing the design and evolution of the different projects, including designs of furniture.

I would probably BUY this Calatrava overview of work over the Taschen book that covers the same period. It is cheaper & Rizzoli is a premium publisher of architectural designs. At 432 pp, Calatrava's major works are included.

i'm really satisfied with my purchase. Everything was right: the book is great, really cheap and arrived just ten days after i purchased it, though i live in spain
