Allen Lambert Galleria, sometimes described as the "crystalcathedral of commerce", is an atrium designed by SpanisharchitectSantiago Calatrava which connects Bay Street withSamPollockSquare. The six story high pedestrian thoroughfare isstructured by eight freestanding supports on each side of theGalleria, which branch out into parabolic shapes evoking a forest

canopy or a tree-lined avenue because of the presence of buildingfacades along the sides of the structure.

The Galleria was the result of an international competition and was

incorporated into the development in order to satisfy the City of

Toronto'spublic art requirements. It is a frequently photographed

space, and is heavily featured as a backdrop for news reports, as

well as TV and film productions.

The parabolic, arched roof that Santiago Calatrava created for the

assembly hall of the Wohlen High School

inWohlen,Aargau,Switzerland,is generally considered to be a

precursor of the vaulted, parabolic ceiling in the Galleria.

The Alamillo Bridgeis a structureinSeville,Andalucia (Spain), which spans the Canal deAlfonso XIII, allowing access toLa Cartuja,an island betweenthe canal and theGuadalquivir River.The bridge wasconstructed as part of infrastructure improvements forExpo92,which was held on large banana farms on the island.Construction of the bridge began in 1989 and was completedin 1992 from a design bySantiago Calatrava.

The bridge is of thecantilever spar cable-stayed bridge type

and consists of a single pylon, counterbalancing a 200 m span

with thirteen lengths of cables. The original intent was to build

two symmetrical bridges on either side of the island, but in the

end, the Alamillo's singular design has proved most striking.

The Auditorio de Tenerifeis situated ina central area of the city of Santa Cruz deTenerife, near The Avenue of theConstitution, theParque Martimo CsarManrique and thePort of Santa Cruz de

Tenerife.The auditorium is located neartheTenerife Tramstation.

The building is famous for its great "arc",this element marked a before and after inthe history of architecture, it is the onlylarge arch supported by only two points

of support, while the tip appears suspended gravity defying. The silhouette of auditorium seaside evokestheSydney Opera House inAustralia.This has meant that since the construction of the Auditorio de Tenerife in

2003, has popularized the term "The Sydney of the Atlantic", to refer to the city o fSanta Cruz de Tenerife.[12]

In the 1990s the train station was rebuilt by the Spanish

architectSantiago Calatrava.The station building from

1894 was preserved and the surroundings were

completely redone in a fancy twist of modern art, thus

forming a striking combination of the new and the old.

Both station building and platforms are inscribed on

theSwiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National

Significance.

El Museu de les Cincies Prncipe Felipe

The building is made up of three floors of which

26,000 square meters is used for exhibitions. Thefirst floor has a beautiful view of the Turia Gardenthat surrounds it; which is over 13,500 squaremeters of water. The second floor hosts The

Legacy of Science exhibition by the researchers;

Santiago Ramn y Cajal, Severo Ochoa y JeanDausset. The third floor is known as theChromosome Forest which shows the sequencingof human DNA. Also on this floor is the Zero

Gravity, the Space Academy, and Marvel

Superheroes exhibitions. The buildings architecture

is known for its geometry, structure, use ofmaterials, and its design around nature. The building

is about 42,000 square meter and 26,000 square meters of is exhibition space, which is currently the largest inSpain. It has 20,000 square meters of glass, 4,000 panes, 58,000 m of concrete, and 14.000 tons of steel.This magnificent building stands 220 meters long, 80 meters wide and 55 meters high.

The Hemesfericalso known as the planetariumor the eye of knowledge, is the centerpiece of

the City of Arts and Sciences. It was the firstbuilding completed in 1998. Its design resemblesan eyelid that opens to access the surroundingwater pool. The bottom of the pool is glass,creating the illusion of the eye as a whole. Thisplanetarium is a half-sphere composed of

concrete 110 meters long and 55.5 meters wide.The shutter is built of elongated aluminumawnings that fold upward collectively to formabrise soleil roof that opens along the curvedaxis of the eye. It opens to reveal the dome, the pupil of the eye, which is the Ominax theater. The City of Artsand Sciences is divided in half by a set of stairs that descend into the vaulted concrete lobby. The undergroundspaces are illuminated with the use of translucent glass panels within the walking path. The transparent roof issupported by concrete arches that connect to the sunken gallery.

The Milwaukee Art Museum(MAM) is an art

museum with a collection of over 30,000 works of

art serving over 350,000 visitors a year. The

campus of three buildings is located onLake

Michigan inMilwaukee, Wisconsin.The

Museum's stated mission is to "collect andpreserve art, presenting it to the community as a

vital source of inspiration and education".

The 341,000-square-foot (31,700 m2) Museum

includes the War Memorial Center (1957)

designed by Finnish-American architectEero

Saarinen,the Kahler Building (1975) by David

Kahler, and the Quadracci Pavilion (2001) created by Spanish architectSantiago Calatrava.TheReiman

Bridge,also designed by Calatrava, connects to the pavilion and provides pedestrian access to and from

downtown Milwaukee.

Turning Torso

The vision of HSB Turning Torso is based on a sculpture called Twisting

Torso, which is a white marble piece based on the form of a twisting

human being, created by Santiago Calatrava.

In 1999, HSB Malm's former managing director,Johnny rbck,saw

the sculpture in a brochure presenting Calatrava in connection with his

contribution to the architectural competition for theresund Bridge.It

was on this occasion that Johnny rbck was inspired to build HSB

Turning Torso. Shortly afterwards he travelled to Zurich to meet

Calatrava, and ask him to design a residential building based on the

idea of a structure of twisting cubes.[7]

Jerusalem Chords Bridge

The bridge was designed to add a defining visual element to the

Jerusalem "skyline" at the entrance to the western city, and to

carry a light rail system, expected to solve some of the city's

traffic problems. For Calatrava the bridge is "also the excuse to

create a major plaza, to give character and unity to this delicate

place".Similar to Calatrava'sPuente del Alamillo inSeville,Spain,the bridge makes use of an angled cantilever tower to absorb

some of the load and reduce the number of cable stays needed.

The bridge consists of a single pylon counterbalancing a 160

metre span with lengths of cables, making a dramatic

architectural statement. While this is Calatrava's 40th bridge, it is

the first he has designed to carry both train and pedestrian traffic.
