In the course of his 2007 Tanner Lectures on Human Values, Santiago Calatrava created an array of striking watercolor drawings to illustrate his architectural thinking and practice. These drawings, together with excerpts from his remarks, will be on exhibit at the Whitney Humanities Center from March 31 to June 16, 2008.
Mr. Calatrava is internationally renowned for his architectural and engineering designs. His distinguished work includes Sondica Airport, Bilbao (2000); the expansion of the Milwaukee Art Museum (2001), Calatrava’s first building in the United States; James Joyce Bridge, Dublin (2003); the Auditorio de Tenerife, Santa Cruz, Canary Islands (2003); the Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay, Redding, California (2004); and Turning Torso Tower in Malmo, Sweden (2005); as well as a complex of buildings and plazas for Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences (2007). Mr. Calatrava has won numerous honors and prizes, including the 2000 Algur H. Meadows Award for Excellence in the Arts and the 2005 Gold Medal from the American Institute of Architects.
