Talk:Santiago Calatrava

message: I worked on the beginning. made it more Wikified. Reduced unsourced discussion about influences. It still needs a lot of work.Brosi 01:33, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Brosi, when you "Reduced unsourced discussion about influences." you removed "Calatrava was influenced by the French/Swiss architect Le Corbusier, whose Notre Dame du Haut chapel caused Calatrava to examine how complex form could be understood and generated in architecture." and added "Calatrava, however, was also influenced by the work of Minimalist artists like Donald Judd." among other unsourced discussion about influences. Do you see the humour in that? And while I'm here please use edit summaries so others can see what you intend with your edits more easily. Thanks,  DVD+ R/W 15:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I get the point: oops. I was checking the literature on Calatrava and LeCorbusier, but so far, as I suspected, nothing. As far as Judd, that came from a lecture Calatrava himself gave -maybe about 5 years ago - that I happened to hear in Boston. I guess I can cite the lecture and date. Will try to get the info.Brosi 01:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Np, I believe you went to a Calatrava lecture, but if  said they studied with Calatrava at ETH Zurich and listened to him make statements to that effect and observed him studying LC in depth, I'd probably believe that too. Either is still sketchy in terms of verifiability unless the lecture was transcribed or the hypothetical 65.100.149.4 info published. Neither is really a problem they just seem speculative until documented.  DVD+ R/W 03:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Point well taken. I will take it out. And to get a real fix on this, I will email Calatrava. He gave me his card so let's see if he responds.Brosi 01:43, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Wow, that is one hell-of-a-photo.Brosi 15:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Put the photo in and rearranged, but when I saved the text size got reduced. Can't quite figure out how to restore size. I will add some more on his career.Brosi 17:02, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)

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)

message: "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)

message: 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?

message: 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.
I have an image I could upload, but it's not very good.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zebranih (talk • contribs) 14:14, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I just took a look, following your URL reference.  The "Times Capsule" certainly is notable, and ought to be mentioned in this article, with references.  A clear picture of its appearance would definitely be helpful, as a verbal description seems inadequate.  Reify-tech (talk) 19:53, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
