The City of Arts & Sciences

We were still able to salvage half of the day and see what we came to Valencia to see.

This modern development in the Valencia riverbed could not be more different from the medieval quarter we explored yesterday.

This "city" is largely the work of Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava, author of the bridge we saw in Bilbao.

The building on the right is a science museum; a building that caught my eye in my first semester at Columbia where I tried creating a 3D model of it.The building in the center, modeled after a human eye and weilding an operable facade is the Imax and planetarium.In the distance the opera house has yet to reach completion and is a close replica of one Calatrava designed in Tenerife.
