It is not hard to figure out why Calatrava is so awesome. He is an architect and and engineer! That means that he has all the creativity and expertise of two people in one. This is only accentuated by his well developed and well defined style that he has rarely strayed from. Is it bad for someone to have such a narrowly defined style? I would say no....conditionally. IF it is in fact unique and is not copied by others to the point that it vanishes. and IF it is in a large enough context that it doesnt get repetative but becomes objects of recognition.
