Major Assignment- Calatrava

Together with Ray and Rafia we have been looking at Calatrava as inspiration for the major assignment. He is a new architect to me but his designs are incredible. One of the main aspects to his designs is that all components have a structural purpose despite how aesthetically pleasing they look, due to his background in engineering. This is a major point to remember when designing our own warehouse.
Some of the buildings of Calatrava's we looked at include:


Liege Guillemins TGV station

BCE place- this was a building that i liked a lot
but it wasn't practicle as there would be too many columns in what should be free space in a warehouse.



Lyon Airport station- this is the design we are workin off. Love the combination of the roof style and the wall angle, also there is a large open space on the inside perfect for a warehouse.
