Is there a agreed-on format for listing works and publications for architects? The syntax and structure is very different from architect to architect. If anyone could point me to a featured article for a notable figure with works/publications listings, I would be glad to transpose the formatting to various personalities articles. -- Junesix 18:28, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)

How can anyone like this style of architecture? It's terrible! The new building that he's putting up in Chicago looks like a giant dildo! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.88.109.121 ( talk) 23:39, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't have enough information to add myself, but I'd like to warn the contributors of this page that the Calatrava bridge in Venice has been opened. Because of the criticism, no opening ceremony was held: people just found it open one day. Mild criticism is still going on, and some modifications will be made: for instance, some glass floor parts should be replaced by stone and probably a tactile path for the blind will be added. But the bridge is definitely open. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.205.81.1 ( talk) 10:29, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
"The Quadracci Pavilion (2001) of the Milwaukee Art Museum was his first US building"
I thought Shadow Machine (1992), New York, was his first US building. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.56.139.55 ( talk) 14:18, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
"Public disclosure of Peace Bridge was made on July 28, 2009 to the public and praised as a sleek, elegant contribution to downtown Calgary." – The bridge was actually widely criticized, especially because of the high price which some felt was unnecessary considering the current amount of pedestrian bridges over the Bow. I'd like to revise this, but am unsure how to best rewrite it. Thoughts? Nich148 9 ( talk) 05:19, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
In the subject "recognition" it's stated that he received the "Médaille d'Argent de la Recherche et de la Technique" in 1990. The only source I found was on his biography on his website andall other sites had the same information, always copy-pasted (I can tell it beacuse the had all had the same "d´Argent" instead of "d’Argent" or "d'Argent"). This award is released by the Académie d'Architecture, but on their database I can't find anything about it. And the database goes back till the beginning of the XX century. Now, I don't think that Calatrava needs to fake some award, by why can't I find a reliable source? Moreover, in the subject "Awards" the aforementioned award is not cited. What should we do? How can we find some other source? Tomaradze ( talk) 20:53, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

My family just saw the time capsule outside of the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. Calatrava won a design competition sponsored by the New York Times. The stainless steel capsule was sealed in 2000 and is slated to be opened in 3000. Perhaps someone would like to put a small note on his page. Here is a reference: http://partners.nytimes.com/library/magazine/millennium/m6/design-calatrava.html.

Intro
The office list and residence are inaccurate.
Should read:
Santiago Calatrava Valls (Valencian pronunciation: [santiˈaɣo kalaˈtɾava ˈvaʎs], born 28 July 1951) is a Spanish architect, structural engineer, sculptor and painter. He has offices in New York City, Doha and Zurich, Switzerland, where he now resides.
Early life and education
Suggesting a slight rewording regarding degrees received:
Calatrava was born in Benimàmet, an old municipality now integrated as an urban part of Valencia, Spain, where he received a degree in architecture at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. [1] There he completed independent projects with fellow students, publishing two books on the vernacular architecture of Valencia and Ibiza. In 1975 he enrolled in the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich, Switzerland for a second degree in civil engineering. In 1981, after receiving his doctorate in civil engineering for his thesis, "On the Foldability of Space Frames", he started his architecture and engineering practice.
Career
The 2nd paragraph should be expanded for clarity and accuracy:
Calatrava has designed a futuristic train station, the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, at the rebuilt World Trade Center in New York City. It is expected to open in 2015. Changes made to the World Trade Center reconstruction project – for example, because of even greater security requirements – have resulted in the reconstruction effort being six years behind schedule, at a cost of $4 billion, twice the original budget. [2] [3] In March 2014, the Daily News reported a “top-ranking Port Authority official” believes that additional features had perhaps doubled the cost: "The source estimated the project without its nontransit components would cost at least half what it does today." [4]
The 2nd to last and last paragraphs ("In May 2012..." and "In March 2013...") should also be edited and expanded for accuracy and clarity:
'bleeding Valencia dry'. [6] According to the website, Calatrava’s business has charged some €100m (£81m) to the Valencia government. The party says it has managed to see copies of bills paid by the People's party regional government to the architect, who is now based in Zurich and therefore out of the immediate reach of Spanish courts. [7] Calatrava has resided in Zurich since 1975.
In March 2013, an Italian administrative court started a procedure for a hearing to identify the source of cost over-runs for a bridge Venice designed and donated by Calatrava. [8]
Recent Projects
Suggestion additions:
Santiago Calatrava was awarded the contract to rebuild the St. Nicholas Church in downtown New York City, which had been destroyed on 9/11. Construction is expected to begin in 2014 and it is hoped that the St. Nicholas congregation will be able to celebrate Easter in the church in 2017.
The church will be created from steel and concrete but the exterior will be clad in stone. In designing the church, Calatrava was said to be inspired by Byzantine churches of the past, including the Haghia Sophia in Istanbul. The interior design of the church is still being determined. [9]
Sharq Crossing
In December 2013, the city of Doha awarded Calatrava the Sharq Crossing in Doha, Qatar - his biggest project to date. The project will see three interconnecting bridges - spanning almost ten kilometers – connect the city’s cultural district in the north of the city to Hamad International Airport and the central business district in West Bay. The bridges will be able to carry 2,000 vehicles per lane per hour and are connected by a series of undersea tunnels to keep the traffic flow moving. The three bridges would be between 600 and 1,310m in length and the undersea tunnels would be between 8 and 9km long. [10]
The crossing is partly designed to ease traffic in this fast-growing city, but the West Bay Bridge – a double-decked bridge – also incorporates a recreational part that can be accessed by an elevated walkway. This will offer views of the city and will offer hospitality facilities that connect to the central business district.
The project has been described by authorities in Qatar as being one of the most ambitious engineering projects undertaken in the Middle East, creating up to 15,000 jobs. [11] Work is scheduled to start in 2015 to open in time for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. [12]Suggested additions for "Trinity River Bridges":
Calatrava's work includes three bridges that will eventually span the Trinity River in Dallas, Texas. The first bridge, the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, named after donor Margaret Hunt Hill, was open for traffic in March 2012. If the remaining bridges are completed, Dallas will join the Dutch county of Haarlemmermeer in having three Calatrava bridges.
Work on the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge was started in 2007 and completed in 2012 . The bridge has a 40-story center arch, which is a feature of the Dallas skyline. [4]
Suggested additions for "Florida Polytechnic University":
On 16 June 2009, it was announced that Calatrava would be designing the first building of the new University of South Florida Polytechnic campus in Lakeland, Florida. This will be his first work in the southeastern United States. The university is now Florida Polytechnic University scheduled to open in August 2014. As of 2013 [update], construction of the campus is well under way on Interstate 4 between Tampa and Orlando. The Polytechnic will accept its first students in August 2014. [13]
Calatrava has been responsible for the masterplan of the campus as well as the main building. The campus sits on 170 acres of land which once contained phosphorous mines, many of which have been filled with water creating small lakes. Some of these are being enlarged to create a major lake at the center of the campus.
The main building – the Innovation, Science and Technology building – will be arranged over two floors of an area of 200,000 square feet. It will house classrooms, labs, faculty offices and meeting spaces and will be provide the Polytechnic’s primary needs until additional buildings are added. [14]
The project was completed for a fixed-price of $60m and is projected to come in under budget. [14] The backdrop of the polytechnic building was recently used in a commercial for Chrysler Ram trucks. [15]

Calatrava as sculptor
Proposed addition:
...entitled Santiago Calatrava: Sculpture Into Architecture. In 2012, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg held an exhibition of his work [21] and this was followed up by an exhibition at the Vatican Museum in Rome. [22] The Marlborough Gallery in New York is set to exhibit Calatrava’s work in May 2014. Eight of his sculptures will also be displayed along Park Avenue in New York City in the spring of 2015, between 52nd and 55th Streets. [4] Exhibitions of his work have also taken place in Germany, England, Spain, Italy and elsewhere.
Criticism
Proposed additions for clarity and accuracy:
In September 2013, the New York Times published an article on Santiago Calatrava, detailing criticisms made against him. A significant amount of the claims made against Calatrava came from political activists in Spain from the far-left “United Left” party. Many of these claims are strongly disputed by Calatrava’s office, and many are said to be demonstrably false.
Calatrava's projects have often been completed late and well over budget, [23] resulting several times in real or threatened litigation against him. The World Trade Center Transportation Hub in New York is expected to be complete in 2015, six years behind schedule, for a cost of $4 billion, twice what was expected , although higher costs are reported to be attributed to extensive changes in key elements of the project, such as greatly enhanced security. [2] According to a top-ranking official at the Port Authority, without additional “non-transit” components, the project would cost at least half of what it costs today. [4]
The City of Arts and Sciences complex in his native Valencia ultimately cost around €900 million, almost triple what was originally budgeted, over a 13-year period. Ignacio Blanco, an opposition member of the Valencian provincial parliament for United Left, estimates that the city, financially strapped as a result of country's ongoing economic crisis and unwise spending, still owes €700 million. Blanco has started a website, calatravatelaclava.com, [24] meaning "Calatrava rips you off" in Catalan, highlighting the architect's propensity for these cost and schedule overruns. [6] Calatrava successfully launched a legal action against Blanco’s United Left party for defamation, disputing the content on this site. [5]
Some of his work has additionally been criticized for impracticality. The metal arches he puts over landscaped gardens, critics say, are beautiful but grow too hot in the sun for vines to grow around them. [6] In Bilbao, the bridge's glass tiles are prone to break and get slippery in the local weather, [25] leading The New York Times to dub it "The Bridge of Broken Legs", due to the many accidents that occurred. The compensation payments which followed finally compelled the local administration to add anti-slip treads to its decking, covering the lighting from underneath that was the bridge's selling point. Critics have claimed that in the City of Arts and Sciences' opera house, 150 seats have partially obstructed views. However, images of the opera house’s seating show the quality of the views available to the audience. "[R]ather than searching for functionality or customer satisfaction, he aims for singularity," complains the head of Bilbao's architectural association. "[He] is above and beyond the client." Blanco points to the minimal design notes the architect provides in comparison to his peers. [6]
Critics claim other buildings have been built without essential features. It has been said the Bilbao Airport lacks an arrivals hall, so a glass wall had to be built to shelter passengers waiting on the street after clearing customs and picking up their bags.
Calatrava adamantly disputes the claim and has stated that the Sondica airport was operational with an arrivals hall for years. Following the introduction of the European Union’s Schengen Treaty and the increased tourist traffic in Bilbao, Calatrava was commissioned to undertake the expansion project necessary to deal with additional passenger numbers – an arrivals hall and waiting area were again included.
Calatrava’s critics say Valencia's science museum was originally missing fire escapes or elevators to provide accessibility; they were later added by Calatrava at public expense. "He was paid even when repairing his own mistakes," Blanco complains. [6] But Calatrava says that fire escapes and elevators were always included and that facilities were developed in collaboration with the Fire Department in Valencia. Calatrava commissioned an extensive study during the planning stages of the museum’s development to ensure that it was fully compliant with fire and safety codes.
Some Calatrava projects have shown visible problems within a few years of completion. It was inevitable, another Valencia architect wrote, that the mosaic Calatrava put on the wall of the City of Arts and Sciences' opera house as a tribute to Antonio Gaudi would buckle as the steel it was affixed to heated up. The city was contemplating a lawsuit against Calatrava and the builders over the wrinkles that have appeared. However, in April 2014, an inquiry into problems with the cladding on the Calatrava-designed opera house in Valencia, which had started to break off in storms over Christmas 2013, found the application of the adhesive material used by the building contractors was the cause, and not the fault of Calatrava. [26]
A councilor in the Dutch city of Haarlemmermeer called for the city to sue Calatrava over the three bridges he designed over its main canal, which not only cost double their budget but have required far more maintenance than originally anticipated. [6] This was, however, dismissed by the local authority of Haarlemmermeer within three days of the councilor’s request. The local authority made it clear that Calatrava was not liable for extra costs.
A bridge over the Grand Canal in Venice has all the problems of Calatrava's projects highlighted by his critics. Starting in 1996, when Calatrava donated his design to the city of Venice, it took 12 years to build the bridge and went through numerous structural changes, because of the mechanical instability of the structure and the excessive weight of the bridge, [27] which, according to critics, would cause the banks of the canal to fail. Despite these claims, the bridge has not shown any structural problems to date. [28] Experts have quantified the probability of any failure from Calatrava’s design to 1 in 87,000 million. [29] In 10 years the project was inspected by more than eight consultants and the cost had risen to three times the original expectations. [30] The finished bridge has been criticized for its impractical design; it has many steps embedded in its relatively steep pavement, which makes it uncomfortable to walk on, especially for the elderly. It has been noted, however, that few, if any, of the other bridges in Venice are accessible to people with walking difficulties. [28] Moreover, it does not have a ramp, so that it cannot be used by wheelchair users, like the overwhelming majority of other bridges in Venice. The city has sued Calatrava over both the cost overruns on the original construction and the excessive maintenance costs incurred since then. [6] Cignoni, in turn, has argued that a portion of the overcosts were due to design issues with Calatrava’s design. Calatrava is actively disputing this in court. The auditor of the city of Venice is currently seeking reimbursement from Cignoni for over EUR3,5000,000 for cost overruns, and is also alleging that Calatrava may be responsible for EUR400,000 in increased maintenance expenses. [31] Calatrava also disputes this claim and the case is still being litigated.
The Domecq Group has sued Calatrava and the building company Ferrovial to pay for the repairs in the cover of the 2001 Ysios winery in Alavan Rioja, Spain. [32] The aluminium and cedar cover leaks water, causing humidity inside that is detrimental to wine production. Elsewhere in Spain, in 2013 Calatrava and his associates were ordered to pay the developer of a convention center in the city of Oviedo €3.3 million for damages incurred when a convention center collapsed while under construction. [6] The sentence has since been partially confirmed on appeal, though slightly reduced to just under €3 million. [33] Calatrava has appealed this decision to the Spanish Supreme Court, arguing that the party responsible for the loss, the general contractor, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the developer.
"My goal is always to create something exceptional that enhances cities and enriches the lives of the people who live and work in them," Calatrava told the Times in response to its article about his projects' many difficulties. He has claimed that his fees for his Valencia work were justified since they included his work as a project manager over 20 years' time, but did not address specific criticisms of its many defects. In an interview with Architectural Record he dismissed criticism there by Blanco and others as politically motivated. Other cities, like Dublin and Dallas, had been satisfied with his work and commissioned projects from him repeatedly, he noted. His supporters pointed out that Valencia's government has spent foolishly and extravagantly on other architects' work as well, such as its new airport which remains underused. [6]
Recently, Calatrava won a case against the far left-wring party Esquerra Unida, for a violation of his right to privacy and honor over a website that was hostile to Calatrava. In his judgment, the Honourable Judge M.A. Casañ Llopis ordered that the website be removed and that Esquerra Unida must pay €30,000 in damages to Calatrava. [5] He has also tried shutting up his underfunded Valencian critics by suing them for large monetary damages. [34]
Thomas Hanrahan, dean of the Pratt Institute’s School of Architecture, said of Calatrava: "It’s total B.S. — every architect gets sued, every building leaks… But because Santiago’s work is so unusual, it’s easy for people to attack him.” Artist Frank Stella said: ‘He really does it all; he’s a Renaissance man… That’s why it’s hard. He knows what it takes to create art, but people actually have to inhabit his work, and you can’t always satisfy everyone." [4]
Exhibits
Proposed addition:
A special exhibition was presented at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in March 2006. [35] [36] Calatrava has also exhibited at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, [21] and the Vatican Museum [22] - the first time the work of a living architect has been displayed at the Vatican. [37] His work will also be exhibited at Marlborough Gallery later in 2014 and eight of his sculptures will appear on Park Avenue, between 52nd and 55th Streets, in the spring of 2015. [4]

I think that the reference to Franco's regime and the effects on Calatrava's carrers should be reviewed. Franco's regime ended in 1975, not in 1964 as it is in the text. Also why is this text regarding Calatrava's move to Paris between his childhood and his secondary school? I don't know enough and don't have the sources to edit the text but I am sure that this part is not correct. It should really be edited by someone who does have the knowledge and/or the sources. 151.182.85.101 ( talk) 23:31, 23 March 2017 (UTC)sofiammribeiro
