For these blogs I have focused a lot on bridges that have been designed by Santiago Calatrava mostly because his first work I saw was the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas. I have also focused on North American works because I live there. However, Calatravas work spans far beyond North American bridges, as seen by the Tower at the Dubai Creek Harbour. This building stands out in a city and a region filled with amazing architecture. Its graceful cables spread downward and create an aura that is breathtaking. The building is packed with observation decks, some even recreating the hanging gardens of Babylon. This building truly showcases how flexible and far reaching of an architect Calatrava is.Screen Shot 2016-11-27 at 9.07.47 PM
