Architect, engineer, and sculptor, Santiago Calatrava is currently working on a new train and subway station at the World Trade Center site in New York City. Calling Calatrava's work "open and organic," the New York Times said that the new terminal will evoke the kind of uplifting spirituality that is needed on Ground Zero. However, reconstruction plans in New York have undergone so many revisions, much of Calatrava's original vision has been lost.
