Calatrava presents latest design for Ground Zero transport hub
13 May, 2009
By Anna Winston
Santiago Calatrava has unveiled the latest model of his design for the World Trade Centre transport hub, the train and bus station at the heart of the Ground Zero regeneration plan.
The model is on display as part of an exhibition of Calatrava’s American projects at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute in Manhattan.
Calatrava has said the design for the hub was inspired by “a bird being released by a child’s hand”.
He was commissioned to design the scheme as part of a joint venture known as the Downtown Partnership, which includes engineering giant Aecom.
Since the design was first unveiled in 2004, it has undergone a number of changes due to budget restrictions.
The New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff has attacked the design, describing it as “a monument to the creative ego that celebrates Mr Calatrava’s engineering prowess but little else”.
