I also love the soon-to-open Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas by Santiago Calatrava. It's breath-takingly gorgeous and is an amazing addition to our skyline.
And it's the skyline, by the way, that tempted me to move to Dallas in the first place. No lie.
Anyway, this is a fantastic infographic created by the Dallas Morning News.

Calatrava's work is amazingly beautiful. He did the most recent incarnation of the Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee and it is so striking. When the brise-soleil is open it looks like a large, attractive bird sitting on the lakeside. http://mam.org/info/details/quadracci.php
ReplyDeleteThe museum in Wisconsin and bridge in Dallas beautiful. The man obviously talented
ReplyDeleteCalatrava is one of my favorite designers - he's actually a structural engineer. He's got the soul of an artist, for sure, and is able to design such complicated pieces that often project teams don't believe they can really be built.
ReplyDeleteMight just be worth a trip to Big D just to see this ... oh, and you, too :)
ReplyDeleteThe use of infographics on a business site will attract a lot of traffic. It's easier for more people to understand the information and because of this dissemination increases. Thanks a lot.
