Santiago Calatrava Valls (Spanish, 1951)Architectural Model for the Kopp Residence, Modellbau ZaborowskyPlastic, papier mache, paint11 x 22-1/2 x 19-3/4 inches (27.9 x 57.2 x 50.2 cm)Plaque by model-maker affixedSpanish architect Santiago Calatrava is known for his bold bridges and buildings recognizable for his daring use of angles and structures of organic form. These presentation models are designs for an unrealized residential project for an interior designer in the Camelback Mountains in Phoenix, Arizona. Each model, meticulously built by Zaborowsky in Zurich, shows the extraordinary vision Calatrava brought to constructing a house in the desert landscape, which would be built into and around the rugged hills. Calatrava is also a recognized artist who has exhibited his paintings, sculptures and architectural models at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and these models encapsulate his mastery of the medium.HID01801242017Artist or Maker: Calatrava Valls, SantiagoDimensions: 11in x 22.5in x 19.75in
