Design Leadership Network

The Summit General Session kicked off today with Spain’s most celebrated architect: Santiago Calatrava (). In conversation with prizewinning critic Paul Goldberger (), Calatrava reflected on the intimacy of home design, the civic ambition of the Oculus at Ground Zero, and the poetry of bridges that unite art, structure, and landscape.

He also spoke about the power of architecture as a human act—from the touch of a doorknob to the collective will behind a public work—and of design as a lifelong dialogue between Europe and the United States.
