• BIOGRAPHY
• Architect, artist, and engineer Santiago
  Calatrava was born on July 28, 1951, in Valencia,
  Spain. His background was eclectic. Calatrava is
  an aristocratic name, passed down from a medieval
  order of knights. The family on both sides was
  engaged in the agricultural export business,
  which gave them an international outlook that was
  rare during the Franco dictatorship.Calatrava
  attended primary and secondary school in
  Valencia. From the age of eight, he also attended
  the Arts and Crafts School, where he began his
  formal instruction in drawing and painting. When
  he was thirteen, his family took advantage of the
  recent opening of the borders and sent him to
  Paris as an exchange student. He later traveled
  and studied in Switzerland as well. Upon
  completing high school in Valencia, he went to
  Paris with the intention of enrolling in the
  Ecole des Beaux-Arts but since he arrived in
  June 1968, he found his plan was unworkable. He
  returned to Valencia and enrolled in the Escuela
  Tecnica Superior de Arquitectura, a relatively
  new institution, where he earned a degree in
  architecture and took a post-graduate course in
  urbanism. While at the school, he also undertook
  independent projects with a group of fellow
  students, bringing out two books on the
  vernacular architecture of Valencia and
  Ibiza.Attracted by the mathematical rigor of
  certain great works of historic architecture, and
  feeling that his training in Valencia had given
  him no clear direction, Calatrava decided to
  pursue post-graduate studies in civil engineering
  and enrolled in 1975 at the ETH (Federal
  Institute of Technology) in Zurich. He received
  his Ph.D. in 1979. It was during this period that
  he met and married his wife, who was a law
  student in Zurich.After completing his studies,
  Calatrava took a position as an assistant at the
  ETH and began to accept small engineering
  commissions, such as designing the roof for a
  library or the balcony of a private residence. He
  also began to enter competitions, believing this
  was his most likely way to secure commissions.
  His first winning competition proposal, in 1983,
  was for the design and construction of
  Stadelhofen Railway Station in Zurich, the city
  in which he established his office.In 1984,
  Calatrava, designed and build the Bach de Roda
  Bridge, commissioned for the Olympic Games in
  Barcelona. This was the beginning of the bridge
  projects that established his international
  reputation. Among the other notable bridges that
  followed were the Alamillo Bridge and viaduct,
  commissioned for the Worlds Fair in Seville
  (1987-92) Campo Volantin Footbridge in Bilbao
  (1990-97) and Alameda Bridge and underground
  station in Valencia (1991-95).

• Calatrava established his firms second
  office, in Paris, in 1989, when he was working on
  the Lyon Airport Station (1989-94). He opened his
  third office, in Valencia, in 1991 to facilitate
  work on a competition, a very large cultural
  complex and urban intervention, the City of Arts
  and Sciences, Valencia (ongoing). Other
  large-scale public projects from the late 1980s
  through the mid-1990s include the BCE Place mall
  in Toronto (1987-92) the Oriente railway station
  in Lisbon (1993-98, commissioned for Expo 98)
  and the winning proposal in the design
  competition to complete the Cathedral of St. John
  the Divine in New York City (1991), a project
  that has not been realized.
• Exhibitions of Calatravas work were first
  mounted in 1985, with a showing of nine
  sculptures in an art gallery in Zurich. A new
  stage in recognition was marked by two solo
  exhibitions a retrospective at the Royal
  Institute of British Architects, London, in 1992,
  and the exhibition Structure and Expression at
  The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1993. The
  latter exhibition included an installation in the
  museums Sculpture Garden of Shadow Machine, a
  large-scale sculpture with undulating concrete
  fingers. The most complete exhibition yet
  mounted of his work was Santiago Calatrava
  Artist, Architect, Engineer, presented at the
  Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, Italy (2000- 2001).
  Similar exhibitions were mounted in 2001 in
  Dallas, Texas (to inaugurate the new Meadows
  Museum) and in Athens, at the National Gallery,
  Alexandro Soutzos Museum. Major projects that
  were recently inaugurated include Sondica
  Airport, Bilbao (2000) The Bridge of Europe,
  Orléans, France (2000) the Bodegas Ysios winery
  in Laguardia, Spain (2001) and Calatravas first
  building in the United States, the acclaimed
  expansion of the Milwaukee Art Museum (2001).
  Among the projects that are currently coming to
  completion are Blackhall Place Bridge, Dublin,
  Ireland (early 2003) Tenerife Auditorium, Santa
  Cruz, Canary Islands (September 2003) Petach
  Tikvah Bridge, Tel Aviv, Israel (spring 2003)
  Quatro Ponte sul Canal Grande, Venice, Italy
  (late 2003/early 2004) Turtle Bay Bridge,
  Redding, California (summer 2004) the Athens
  Olympic Sports Complex (summer 2004) and the
  Valencia Opera House (2004), the last major
  building in his City of Arts and Sciences.Among
  his major recent commissions, Calatrava has been
  selected to design Christ the Light Cathedral for
  the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oakland,
  California and Symphony Center for the Atlanta
  Symphony Orchestra in Atlanta, Georgia.Honors

Calatrava Wave in Tenerife
It was originally intended to be a simple concert
hall, but the multifunction building for the city
of Santa Cruz, Tenerife, in the Canary Islands,
also promises to be a landmark. The distinctive,
overhanging "wave" curving out over the white
concrete Auditorio de Tenerife is the latest
creation of renowned Spanish architect
Santiago Calatrava.

The building will serve Santa Cruz, population
250,000, as an opera house and a venue for the
Santa Cruz Symphony Orchestra, for chamber music
groups, and for performances of dance, theater,
and zarzuela (Spanish operetta). International
conferences will also be held there. It is
Calatrava's first performing arts building.
