The Magill Lecture Series: Santiago Calatrava | A Journey from Art to Architecture
The Magill Lecture in Science, Technology, and the Arts explores the dynamic intersections among these fields, made possible through the generosity of Dr. Frank N. Magill. The lecture series aims to broaden the perspectives of engineering students by promoting the integration of the Humanities into their studies. Dr. Magill was a passionate advocate for exposing students of engineering and science to the rich world of the arts and humanities. This ongoing series celebrates the innovators who bridge the divide between these disciplines, fostering a holistic approach to education that embraces both technical and humanistic insights.
This year’s lecturer is Santiago Calatrava, an acclaimed Spanish architect and structural engineer.
In this lecture, Calatrava explores architecture and engineering as an expression of art. He will demonstrate the influence of artistic research on his work and share how his experience as a painter and sculptor serves as a research laboratory for form, deeply influencing his work as both an architect and engineer.
