On November 17th, Santiago Calatrava, whose designs have inspired awe both for breaking aesthetic and financial boundaries, will be awarded The European Prize for Architecture at the World Trade Center in New York City. Calling Santiago Calatrava a "visionary theorist, philosopher and utopian and a true artist in the craft of engineering and architectonic expressionism" Chicago Athenaeum president Christian Narkiewicz-Laine went on to say that "it is significant that the European Prize for Architecture recognizes Mr. Calatrava as an architect, engineer, sculptor and painter." Past recipients of the prize include Bjarke Ingels (2010), and Alessandro Mendini (2014).
