Spanish Architectural Buildings



http://www.greatbuildings.com/cgibin/gbi.cgi/Campo_Volantin_Footbridge.html/cid_campo_volantin_02.html



The Campo Volantin Footbridge was built from 1990 to 1997 in Bilbao, Spain. The architect Santiago Calatrava designed the footbridge. It's style is modern.

"As in many other designs by Santiago Calatrava, an apparent disequilibrium or rather a sense of frozen movement is heightened by the lightness of the structure."
— Philip Jodidio.

Matthews, Kevin. "Eiffel Tower." Great Buildings. 2007. 30 Jan. 2008 . This website gave me a ton of information that was very useful on the Eiffel Tower. If you need to know anything about it, this is the website to go to.Powell, Kenneth. "Mitterrand's Great Projects." London Daily Telegraph 1989. My World and I. 4 Feb. 2008. This was great. It was a real article, and really helped to give the point of view of someone.Van Der Meer, Ron, and Deyan Sudjic. The Architecture Pack. New York: Random House, 1997. This is such a great book. This is where I found a very helpful timeline and a lot of information about both French and Spanish architecture and architects.Waite, Alicia. "A Touch of Old Spain:Historic St. Augustine." 2000. My World and I. 4 Feb. 2008. This was also a great article that gave a lot of information and personal opinions.
