Alamillo Bridge Ronda de Circunvalation SE-30 Seville This is a road (motor) ánd pedestrian bridge over the river Meandro de San Jerónimo, next to the Guadalquivir River in Sevilla Pedestrians walk across the spine of the bridge and the cars cross below Total length of the bridge is 250 m and maximum span is 200 m The pylon inclines 58 degrees The total length of the viaduct is 5265 m This type is a cable-stayed bridge Rather than use back stays, the weight of the concrete and steel pylon provides a counterbalance for the bridge deck, and the cables create a dialogue of balance between pylon and deck The bridge was built for the Expo '92, which was held on the large undeveloped island La Cartuja Four new bridges were built, of which Calatrava designed two The bridge form has been compared to a harp, ship's mast, and swan photo: Peter Varkevisser Photography 1992 Santiago Calatrava City of Sevilla Peter_Varkevisser_Photography http://wwwmimoaeu/users/ningkoo/guides/sevilla/ 3
108 Social Housing Units Polígono Aeropuerto A-11 41007 Seville This project introduces an alternative to local regulations of land and town planning The 108 residential units are organized around a central void amidst three large-scale buildings Thus, the massing concentrates towards the borders giving way to a quality Maximum allowed heights offer a mixture of scales for a singular volume design The location of the dwellings has been chosen in order to comply with sustainability criteria that effectively ensure efficiency in the use of natural resources Lightning and ventilation facilities are available through alternating façades, also designed in an attempt to tone down the program Project is not public!

Finnish Pavilion Expo '92 Calle de Marie Curie 41092 Seville This pavilion was designed by MONARK, a group of 5 young architects who had studied together at the Helsinki University of Technology, and were all under the age of twenty-five at the stage of initial design The design of the pavilion was based on a place in central Finland where the rock is split into two parts, known as the "Shaft of Hell" The pavilion is split into two contrasting buildings, "Keel" and "Machine" The shaft is represented by the space between the two buildings, which measures fifteen meters high, thirty-five meters long and only two meters wide The first building is made of Finnish pine and its construction is similar to the traditional way of building wooden ships, hence its name, "Keel" The other building, "Machine", is made entirely of steel It is designed to be efficiently built and disassembled Although the buildings are uniquely individual, it is the dramatic contrast which creates a tension between organic and industrial form Project is not public! 1992 MONARK Finland stef_mimoa http://wwwmimoaeu/users/ningkoo/guides/sevilla/ 7

Hungarian Pavilion Expo '92 Calle de Marie Curie 41092 Seville This pavilion lies along a northsouth axis Inside, two walls stretch across the building's diagonal Each wall is three metres apart from the other Seven towers stand on top of this double wall To the west of the double wall can be found all those areas that project what Western Hungary is like, while the eastern section naturally represents Eastern Hungary At the same time, the wall constantly talks Its voice is sometimes louder or softer, but it is always saying something The point of this - let us not forget the seven towers standing sentry above the wall - is for the visitors to feel that they are making their way through a living wall After all, this wall is nothing less than Hungary itself Project is not public!
