I was fortunate to be a part of the construction of the Milwaukee Art Museum.

I used to like Calatrava as a designer of bridges but i saw in Holland 3 of his bridges over a small canal and it looked outrageous. He must have thought if they want a Calatrava bridge they can get it even when it is across a ditch. Without the Sidney opera a design like this would never exist. To compare him with Renzo Piano is an insult. Piano builds for the purpose of the building not for his own glory.

The Pritzker prize has been given to the Italian architect Renzo Piano, who can´t be compared to Santiago Calatrava, my favourite architect, whose designs remind me of the gothic cathedrals. If “form follows function” was a rallying cry of modern architecture, Calatrava’s structures turn this maxim on its head. His designs suggest stylized natural objects: waves, wings, or sun-bleached skeletons with rows of white concrete ribs curved into distorted parabolic arches.

I live near Milwaukee, and the architecture on this brilliant. I've seen it myself... it's amazing.

wow

vreau si eu sa vad asta in realitate... Ilie Ghertescu, merci mult de link!!!!

Calatrava es un magnífico arquitecto. A ver cuando le dan el premio Pritzker de una vez!!

Rafael Moneo es un horror y ya se lo han dado hace más de una década.
