Santiago Calatrava Milwaukee Art Museum
Model of Milwaukee Art Museum , except the wing of the museum also we can clearly see the the iconic Calatrava bridge in the front of the Museum .
I choose the Santiago Calatrava because the Calatrava not only a famous architect but also he is famous sculptor ans structural engineer.The Calatrava's work different between the other architect is the his engineer’s identity. this make the Calatrava's design more close the "from follow the function". For me the Milwaukee Art Museum most interesting part is the wing structure. when the architect face to the building lighting issues，the most of architects use the blank space or glass curtain but the Calatrava use the engineer way to slove this problem.Calatrave design use the mechanical structural make the roof of Milwaukee Art Museum not just the a roof ，also make this roof to be a light modulator.In addition the openable structure make this building have different forms. The 3rd,4th and 5th photo show the wing open or closed status . By contrast most architecture is solidified and sculpture，because the architect always use the form to express dynamic feeling in the building , but to be the engineer the Calatrava can use the mechanical way to design the building I believe this is why the Calatrava's work and Milwaukee Art Museum different other architecture.
