Calatrava

April 6th, 2003

I don’t know much about architecture, but I can’t stop admiring Calatrava’s works, some of which include the Alamillo bridge in Sevilla, some auditoriums in Valencia (his birthplace), the Art museum in Milwaukee and the Pavillion in Basilea. I’m now looking for a flat and I wish I could find something like the Turning Torso. It is an awesome skyscraper for residential use designed by Calatrava and being built in the Swedish city of Malmö.

    Hey I didn’t know you made those kind of projects? Would you design a Calatrava-styled house for me? :)

    I’ve just been visiting the Turning Torso (or better the Turning work in progress..). I would define it amazing from the sculpture perspective!
    For what concern the abitability issue,I don’t think that the houses will be as amazing as the architecture.
    As usual spanish are good in “setting up” the apparences, but not the content!!!

    Ciao
