  5. You wrote a short paragraph on one building. You have left so many unanswered questions. Where was he born? What was his inspiration? What is his architectural style? Does he have a firm? I would suggest that you complete your research on Calatrava.

  10. All I know on calatrava is he is an amazing and intelligent man. I myself think his buildings explain everything. All his art work are inspired by nature and so are his sculptures.
