Santiago Calatrava's (* 1951) encounter with the sculpture collection at the Glyptothek in Munich more than twenty years ago prompted him to create an extensive series of sculptures with the title Die Aegineten (The Aeginetans). This volume focuses attention for the first time on the sculptures and paintings of the famous architect and shows how he was influenced by Antiquity.

Die Aegineten - 14 large-format sculptures made of wrought iron on a pedestal of aged oak - appear as modern, almost abstract variations on the ancient warriors of the temple of Aphaea. They are presented in an unusual dialogue with the permanent sculpture collection of the Glyptothek and are complemented by a selection of 30 drawings, watercolours and studies which show Calatrava's interest in the human body and nature, which influences his architectural style.
