"You have to live with the necessities of other people." — Santiago Calatrava

Like Grand Central Station, which is a marvelous building, the design and engineering of the Oculus will endure for many generations to come.

In my opinion, as an engineer, a bridge is the most difficult thing you can do. You are not working in the direction of gravity but against it - so the problem opposes the solution.

A first building is like a first novel, it is always autobiographical.

I always considered the role of teaching to be very noble and relevant.
