Building: City of Arts and Sciences

Location: Valencia

Architect: Santiago Calatrava

Year of completion: 2006 - ?

Comments: Not every building was finished when I was there fall 2005. It is pretty overwhelming and very aesthetic. However, I tend to be critical of architecture that requires permanent maintenance. For example the pool needs frequent cleaning. This kind of architecture needs to be in a perfect state. Any flaw is instantly visible.
