Santiago Calatrava is another famous architect who pioneers the modern architecture field with his organic designs inspired by the human body. The City of the Arts and Sciences is a prime example of his ingenuity. The City of the Arts and Sciences is a large area composed of many buildings all designed by Santiago Calatrava. The Hemisferic is an Imax theatre and a planetarium that opens and closes depending on the time of day as seen here.
The Oceanografic is large aquarium that has over 45,000 animals, and is a beautiful form of architecture that seems to be a perfect home for thousands of animals. The large glass exterior both metaphorically and physically represents the glass like water that houses all the aquatic animals.
The Umbracle is a large walkway with indigenous plants of Valencia. It also encloses "The Walk of The Sculptures." In all I believe that Santiago Calatrava is an inspiring architect who tests the boundaries of new age architecture because of his new and imaginative designs that are inspired by the human body.
