Santiago Calatrava
  • Was born in Valencia on
  • July 28, 1951
  • He completed his studies in the early
  • 1980s, and has risen percipitously to
    international acclaim.
  • Calatrava has won numerous design awards and
    honors (well over 30) and is one of the most
    sought-after architects in the world today
  • Has designed airports, churches, schools, stadia,
    rail-stations and over 50 bridges (one in
    Redding, CA, where I am from), all over the
    world, including NY, Chicago, Jerusalem, Lisbon,

Calatrava and the City complex
  • Valencia city Mayor, Rita Barbara, commissioned
    Calatrava to undertake the design and building of
    the multi-building complex
  • Building began in July, 1996, and the first
    building, or element, of the entire city, was
    the L'Hemisferic, which opened in 1998.
  • The other elements have all opened within a
    similar timeframe, with work on the 6th and final
    building now in progress.
