Santiago Calatrava Movement Dynamism Inspired by natural forms Engineering and Architecture Milwaukee Art Museum
Ph.D. Dissertation , EMT, ’79-’81“On the Foldability of Frames” • Explored questions about modeling the movement of parts of complete structures and representation of intricate curved surfaces. • Two components of the problem: • Modeling geometrical transformation of 3 dimensional frames into more compact arrangements • Articulating the mechanical connectors in the joints required for the sequential transformation, abstracting aspects of strength of materials
