Description
View where it meets the road on the south side, looking south; Both an architect and civil engineer (with a doctorate on the technology of space frames), Calatrava produces dynamic structural forms that challenge traditional practice in both architecture and engineering. His approach to bridge design, for example, is based on the view that bridges can be used ‘to add energy to the landscape’. [Alameda Bridge is an arch bridge which is a roadway and pedestrian walkway.] Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 7/18/2010)
