Spanish-born Santiago Calatrava is one of the world's most in-demand architects and the mastermind behind some of the world's most magnificent structures. Inspired by the human body and the natural world, his works mimic the forms and movements of organic entities and sometimes suggest flight or spiritual exaltation.

The stunning coffee table book "Santiago Calatrava" from Assouline's Ultimate Collection not only presents the architect's most breathtaking masterpieces of architecture and engineering, drawing and sculpture, but reveals for the first time his humanistic spirit and eclectic intellectual curiosity and lets us discover his references, influences and sources of inspiration. From an opera house in his native Valencia, Spain, to the Olympic Sports Complex in Athens or the famous Turning Torso skyscraper in Sweden, Calatrava's legacy as one of the most important figures in contemporary architecture is undeniable.

This book contains a catalogue raisonne of all Santiago Calatrava's architectural creations and receives you with white gloves and a canvas handbag from Assouline.
