Summary: Calatrava redefines brige design
Review: No one has such a unique style of building bridges as Calatrava, who is trained as an engineer and architect. He focuses not only on profile, shape, and unique solutions but he pays close attention to the underside of the bridge. This book is full of his very intriguing bridge styles with CAD drawings to complement the models and photos of the finished works. There are some essays at the end of the book (some by him) that outline his design philosophy and discuss the controversy his bridges have provoked.

Calatrava's works define contemporay. I might also recommend a look at Wilkinson/Eyre's bridge projects which are in a different style but equally creative.
