Aus einem Interview mit Calatrava

Welche Rolle spielt die Kunst für Sie?

Ich zeichne jeden Morgen. Für ein Gebäude mache ich 200 bis 300 Skizzen und Aquarelle. Das ist die direkteste Sprache, um mit meinen Mitarbeitern zu kommunizieren. Und meine Skulpturen bilden ein Vokabular, das ich in der Architektur anwenden kann. Baukunst ist die Summa artis, wie es in der Antike hiess. Sie ernährt sich von den anderen Künsten – von der Technik, von der Natur. Nichts prägt unser Leben mehr als die Baukunst. Aber Architektur umzusetzen, braucht Durchhaltevermögen, geschickte Mitarbeiter – und gute Bauherren.

This horizontal-shaped building boasts a construction quite untypical for an urban hotel. Minimalist in many ways, it looks pretty cold for my taste, yet it neatly fits in its natural environment, smartly protected from the strong regional wind and the outside noise by glass and concrete walls, which are different in size to provide a unique perspective. // Este edificio horizontal exhibe una construcción bastante atípica para ser un hotel urbano. Minimalista en varios sentidos, tiene un aspecto bastante frío para mi gusto, aunque encaja muy bien en su entorno natural, inteligentemente protegido del fuerte viento regional y del ruido exterior por muros de hormigón y vidrio, que tienen tamaños diferentes para proporcionar una perspectiva única.
