The $125-million-dollar project, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, became an icon for the museum and the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin even before its completion. This report presents a case study of the project. Background information regarding the architectural context for the addition will be provided, as well as a synopsis of the architect’s mastery of structural design. A number of unique elements of the building will be discussed in detail. In addition, the building’s complex structural design will be reviewed through component and system evaluation, diagrams, and simplified computer-based structural analysis. The Milwaukee Art Museum The Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) traces its beginnings to two institutions, the Layton Art Gallery, established in 1888, and the Milwaukee Art Institute, which was established in 1918. In 1957 the groups joined together, forming the private, nonprofit Milwaukee Art Center, now known as the Milwaukee Art Museum. At this time, the Center moved to its present location on the Milwaukee waterfront Finnish architect Eero Saarinen, known for his St.

Otto Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on 21 May, 2000 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental engineering. ABSTRACT Santiago Calatrava - when he introduced the counter weight cable stayed bridge typology - opened the door to the possibility of designing bridges for pursuits other than the purely utilitarian. This document explores the potential for variation within the typology by reviewing the historical development of the cable stayed bridge, the elements of the structural system, and the variation possible within these elements. A design strategy is then established for the counter weight cable stayed bridge. Using a proposal for Boston, Massachusetts (Charles River Crossing), a counter weight cable stayed bridge is systematically assessed on a component by component basis.

In those bridges, Calatrava exploits the phenomenon of torsion of the deck to create a certain longitudinal asymmetry. This asymmetry enables the designer to include original features like a big balcony one side of the bridge, "to emphasize the position of the bridge in relationship to the city around it, or the direction of the water, or even the position of the sun. It permits to sensitize the bridge itself, as a phenomenon set into the surrounding landscape" (Conversation with Students, Calatrava). Actually an inclined arch stabilized by steel arms or hangers generates the sufficient torsion defying equilibrium rules.

  • Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada
    Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada Beyond the magnificent Moorish Alhambra, visitors will find a distinctive cuisine and a charming city that was once home to celebrated writers and artists. Like Agra, India, and the Taj Mahal, the Andalusian city of Granada in southern Spain is so well known for a single monument—the Alhambra, a walled fortress housing magnificent 13th- to 15th-century Moorish palaces and gardens—that the city itself is sometimes overlooked. With more than two million visitors descending on the Alhambra, a Unesco World Heritage site, every year, the city’s tourism industry had settled into a somewhat formulaic routine of shuttling visitors in and out of the city in about 24 hours. But recently, some other ancient structures have been restored, and the region’s distinc- tive gastronomy has come into its own. The city that was home to the poet Federico García Lorca, the painter José Guerrero, and the composer Manuel de Falla has deep cultural roots, but now a new crop of small foundations and independent exhibition spaces has revived its arty buzz. Let the Alhambra wait a bit while getting seduced by the city that has grown up around it. Andrew Ferren New York Times (August 10, 2017) Granada seems to specialize in evocative history and good liv- ing. Settle down in the old center and explore monuments of the Moorish civilization and its conquest. Taste the treats of a North African-flavored culture that survives here today.

  • Santiago Calatrava 的 作品說起 國立臺灣大學 園藝暨景觀學系 蔡厚男([email protected]) 主講
    土木工程景觀之美---從Santiago Calatrava 的 作品說起 國立臺灣大學 園藝暨景觀學系 蔡厚男([email protected]) 主講 1 前言： 後工業文明、國土開發與公共建設 臺灣的國土開發與公共建設主要是由土木工程專業主導，工程設計長期以來從實用與經濟的價值思 維出發，土建構築之人文美學意識，生態友善的環境倫理，長期備受忽視甚至壓抑，工程師的養成 教育和專業實踐過程，也非常缺乏基本的人文生態與藝術美學觀念的薰陶， 國土空間美質環境的營 造始終遙遙無期。工程技術講究理性，追求效率和效用，但是也要培育對美好未來的社會想像力； 理性和感性是不可分割的。 2 Santiago Calatrava 簡歷，享有國際盛譽的建築家、結構工程大師。 1951年出生於西班牙的瓦倫西亞（Valencia)，在高中時期進行幾何數學的課外閱 讀，勒·柯布西耶(Le Corbusier，1887年10月6日－1965年8月27日)的一本小冊 子使他很感興趣。這本幾何書的自學要求就是重新設計柯布西耶的國際風格的馬 賽公寓(Unite d’Habitation,Marseilles,1947-53)室外的螺旋樓梯。後來，朗香教堂 (Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut,Ronchamp,1951-3)以那令人感受至深的複雜構造啟 發了年輕的卡拉特拉瓦對形式的感受，並使他對發掘形式背後的秘密和形態演變 的規律癡迷不已。 大學階段於瓦倫西亞建築學院修讀建築，畢業後取得建築師資格，並同步修習都 市計畫的學士後課程； 1975年前往瑞士蘇黎世的ETH（聯邦理工學院蘇黎世分校）修讀土木工程；他從 建築空間設計轉向嚴謹、抽象、數化邏輯理性思維導向的工程學術領域，卡拉特 拉瓦於1981 年完成的博士論文：「可折疊的空間結構」 (On the Foldability of Space Frames) ，闡述跨學科的可摺疊的構造形式研究。試圖系統地生成和示範： 「如何將三維空間結構摺疊變成二維結構，再轉變成為一維結構的所有可能 性。 」這個動態彈性結構的創新研究終於使卡拉特拉瓦在大學的學術研究有一 個完美的了結，而且也為他日後的職業生涯和專業發展埋下一個影響深遠的伏筆。 他的建築、工程、雕塑與傢俱設計作品，研究與專業實務橫跨藝術、科學與技術， 盡量使用最少的材料資源， 創造最大的展示機會和地景空間的融合效應(do more with less)；從結構和運動中創造如詩意般的構造形態。 歸納他的工程設計實踐的主要策略：1.結構構件進行定型化的設計； 2.異化結構 構件使不同功能的材料異化。 3 Early life and education • Calatrava was born in Benimàmet, an old municipality now integrated as an urban part of Valencia, Spain, where he pursued his undergraduate architecture degree at the Polytechnic University of Valencia along with a post-graduate course in urbanism. During his schooldays, he also undertook independent projects with a group of fellow students, bringing out two books on the vernacular architecture of Valencia and Ibiza

  • FAH390YO Seville: Twenty Centuries of Art History
    FAH390YO Seville: Twenty Centuries of Art History Professor: Eric Davis Introduction This course will explore facets of Spain´s rich artistic tradition by placing a special emphasis on Seville´s very own unique and extensive art history. We will survey artistic trends and developments across twenty centuries in Spain and Seville, beginning with prehistoric Art and passing the Roman ruins of Itálica and ending with architect Santiago Calatrava´s contemporary Alamillo Bridge. Seville´s varied artistic history will allow us to examine Roman monuments, Islamic palaces, and Gothic cathedrals. We will also analyze works by many of Spain´s greatest painters and architects. Weekly site visits and field trips to local monuments, palaces, museums, and galleries will allow us to use Seville’s rich cultural heritage as a sort of “laboratory” where students will be able to engage with the material covered in class in a meaningful way. All readings and discussions are in English. No knowledge of Spanish is required. Required text: Students will receive a course pack/reader at the beginning of the course. Most class readings and assignments included in the reader will come from John Moffitt´s “The Arts in Spain” (London, Thames & Hudson, 1999); Debra DeWitte, Ralph Larmann, and Kathryn Shields’ “Gateways to Art” (New York, Thames & Hudson, 2012) and E.H. Gombrich, “The Story of Art” (Oxford, Phaidon, 1994). Week 1 Class Day 1: Course Introduction, Prehistoric Art, the Cave Art of Altamira in Northern Spain, the first monuments in Antequera, Southern Spain, Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. We will look at the early inhabitants of Spain, colonizers such as the Greeks, Phoenicians, Celts, and Iberians.

  • Spanish/Swiss Neo-Futuristic Architect, Structural Engineer, Sculptor and Painter Santiago Calatrava Valls Named As the European Prize for Architecture 2015 Laureate
    PRESS RELEASE OCTOBER 7, 2015 DUBLIN, IRELAND SPANISH/SWISS NEO-FUTURISTIC ARCHITECT, STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, SCULPTOR AND PAINTER SANTIAGO CALATRAVA VALLS NAMED AS THE EUROPEAN PRIZE FOR ARCHITECTURE 2015 LAUREATE Europe’s Highest Award Presented at an Award Ceremony to be held at the World Trade Center in New York on November 17 One of the world's foremost visionary, utopian, and iconic architects today, Santiago Calatrava Valls, has been named as this year’s recipient of the European Prize for Architecture, awarded by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, together with The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. The European Prize for Architecture is Europe’s most prestigious prize given annually to architects who have blazoned a new path and direction for an architecture that is deeply humane and committed to forward the principles of European humanism. Last year, the European Prize for Architecture was given to the Italian architect, Alessandro Mendini. Born in Spain in 1951, Calatrava earned a degree in architecture and then in civil engineering, intrigued by the mathematics behind historic architecture. Early in his career, Calatrava worked as an engineer and began to enter architectural 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 next year, Calatrava designed and built a bridge for the Olympic Games in Barcelona; this was the -MORE- beginning of a series of bridge projects that established his international reputation. By the mid-1980s, Calatrava was hired for large-scale public projects, and opened offices for his company in Zurich, Paris, Valencia, and later New York.
