Chicago Spire

“Šis pastatas nėra skirtas grupuotėms ar korporacijoms, jis skirtas žmonėms” - Santiago Calatrava.

Architektas, ruošdamas projektą, rėmėsi bionika, gamta padėjo jam rasti kūrinio pavidalą. Jo manymu, pats svarbiausias mūsų laikų uždavinys yra harmonija su gamta. Mūsų aplinka gali būti geresnė, architektūra gali būti naudingesnė, dangoraižiai gali būti gražesni - mes galime sukurti kitokį gyvenimo būdą. Dieną šis dangoraižis sugers saulės šviesą ir grąžins ją miestui sutemus, taip papildydamas nuostabią Čikagos panoramą.

Čia bus įrengtos 1200 gyvenamųjų rezidencijų, kurios visos bus skirtingos. Jų interjerui sukurti buvo samdomi geriausi pasaulyje dizaineriai. Ši vieta skirta ir šeimoms ir individualams.

“Žmogui turėtų būti svarbi jo gyvenamoji vieta, jį supanti aplinka, tai padeda kurti, padeda ilsėtis, būti tikru žmogumi” - Santiago Calatrava.

Čikaga įsikūrusi prie nuostabaus Mičigano ežero, kiekvienas butas vis iš kitokio rakurso atskleidžia jo grožį. Architektas mano, jog Čikagos gyventojai pamils šią vietą, jiems patiks gyventi tokiame pastate.

Calgary Peace Bridge

The City of Calgary Canada has unveiled a new $24.5 million footbridge, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The red and white tubular structure which will span the Bow River and connect the North shore to the downtown, will make it easier for Calgarians to commute in and out of the city by foot or by bike.

The bridge’s helix design, which has been likened to a Chinese finger puzzle and a candy stick, is a departure for Calatrava, whose iconic bridges are recognizable worldwide for their soaring masts, delicate steel cables and absence of symmetry. But as this bridge had to be designed without piers in the riverbed or vertical elements above, it required a different approach, resulting in its tubular form. Seemingly simplistic at first glance, the Peace Bridge is 'a highly technical bridge' said Calatrava, like no other he has ever designed.

Painted a bright Canadian red, the 130 meter long single span bridge will have separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists. It will be covered in glass for year round use and lit at night.

Scheduled for completion in late 2010, the bridge is expected to be used by more than 5,000 people a day.

Design becoming reality for new Dallas icon

The first batch of steel for what will be Santiago Calatrava's first vehicular bridge in the United States has been delivered signalling an important moment for the 'signature' Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas.

When approached to design the bridge for the city of Dallas, the world-renowned architect, engineer and artist derived a plan that will not only create a new icon for the city’s skyline, but will also pump life back into the Trinity River. The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas is also designed as a symbolic gesture; a gateway into the city and the realization of the Trinity River’s enormous capacity to bring a new piece of functional, yet beautiful development to Dallas.

The cable stay steel bridge with pylon is located in downtown Dallas, between Continental Avenue and Union Pacific Railroad Bridges the structure will cross the Trinity River Corridor linking West Dallas/North Oak Cliff with the downtown area. At a length of 418.5m and a width of 36.7m the bridge carries 6 lanes of traffic across the water.

Famed in particular for his bridges, the architect's design has been carefully drawn to enabling the use of a light, efficient deck system, with the central pylon supporting the deck via cable-stays. The array of cables effectively distributes the forces over the pylon and the symmetry of permanent loads helps maintain a slender, balanced arch pylon. The arch pylon is a closed steel box with internal diaphragms, stiffeners and anchorages for the cables.

The central box girder acts as a spine and contributes greatly to the torsional rigidity of the system which allows the cables to anchor along the centre-line of the bridge. The regularly-spaced ribs and edge box girders help provide a frame which is stiff in-plane.

Construction began on site in 2007 and is set to complete by the end of 2010.
