What is architecture? How does it effect us? Why are some buildings more interesting to look at than others? What does an architect do? Do they only design houses? Museums? Skyscrapers?
Starting today we’ll look at the work of some important contemporary architects. Hopefully, what you see will inspire you when your designing your own structures in Sketch Up.
Today we’ll start class by watching a short film on the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. While your watching the film think about what was the inspiration for his Satolas. What inspires you? What would it look like?
To get some general background on Santiago Calatrava and see more pictures of his work, you can visit the links above and his site on Wikipedia.
