Architectural Concepts


Santiago Calatrava

 

To harmonize the extremities of architecture and engineering to create a single balanced space

Using sculptural form to create organic spaces that reflect concepts of nature. 

Enhance permeability through structural simplicity and lightness 

Defy conventions and rules 

Create monuments that integrate with and dominate the landscape







Louis Kahn 


Creating order through monumentality 

Compelling strong simple spaces with drama through the dynamics of light

Structures that take inspiration from deities to create a spiritual and sacred space

Devotion to archetypal geometry

Use of large volumes to dominate and define spaces
