Calatrava himself is a structural engineer as well as architect. I think this is why he is such a master at things like bridges and complex structures like his twisting torso building in Malmo.

I remember about 4 years ago going to see an art exhibition of Calatrava's work (scale models) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He's one of the few living architects whose work could qualify as an art exhibition. Even in scale models his stuff is breathtaking.
