Spanish architect and structural engineer of bridges and stations whose forms come from skeletons and birds. Born in Benimamet, Valencia.
Santiago Calatrava Valls is a Spanish-Swiss architect, structural engineer, sculptor and painter, particularly known for his bridges supported by single leaning pylons, and his railway stations, stadiums, and museums, whose sculptural forms often resemble living organisms.

Santiago Calatrava is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
