TRD has logged their take on Santiago Calatrava's design for St. Nicholas Church at the World Trade Center redevelopment site, and the praise is unilateral: Calatrava, the "true poet among architects" has designed a building that "resembles a pumpkin sitting in a box" (not sure that's a good thing), a design that "reproduces the language of traditional Orthodox architecture" while also belonging very much to Calatrava with its rib-like protrusions. More review, this way. [TRD; previously]
