2 comments about Santiago Calatrava (Skira Architecture Library).
- This book, first published in Italy in 1998, has an interesting coverage of many projects by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava since his early works in 1983. Many pictures, most in black and white, plans and sketches, although in reduced size, give a good idea of these projects. Some of them are shown in model or under construction, although now (Nov. 2000) finished (like Oriente Station in Lisbon)or almost finished (expansion of the Modern Art Museum of Milwaukee, USA). A good choice for people seeking a compact sized publication with most black and white and some color references.

1 comments about Architecture: Art.
- Prestel publishes quality books both in terms of construction quality as well as its context. This book is no exception. The question as to when is architecture art and art architecture has been debated since their birht. Instead of providing an answer to this debatable topic, this book provides a compilation of projects that acts as a reference so that the reader can surmise his own. Projects include Christo and Jeanne-Claude's The Gates, Frank Gehry's DG Bank, Eric Owen Moss' The Umbrella, etc. Each project is laid out in either a 2 or 4 page spread with text featuring the designer's background as well as the project description. After reading this book, one has to realize that it is not so important to categorize these projects into absolutes, but rather both/and instead of either/or.
