VISITING THE CITY OF VALENCIA HAS BEEN AN UTMOST REWARDING AND EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE. FROM THE IMPOSITION OF CALATRAVA'S WORK UPON ENTERING THE CITY TO THE 'BEST BAKERY IN THE WORLD', VALENCIA OFFERS ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF RESOURCES.
HOWEVER, PERSONALLY, THE MOST ASTONISHING EXPERIENCE AND SIGHT IS SEEING CALATRAVA'S WORK EMERGE IN THE NIGHT SCENE. THE BACKDROP OF THE SUNSET REFLECTING UPON THE WATER POOLS TRANSCENDS YOU INTO ANOTHER WORLD. THE SHEER SCALE AND SHAPES OF THE STRUCTURES EMIT A SCI FI EXPERIENCE. THE MUSIC PLAYED LIVE COURTESY OF (BERKLEE) SCHOOL OF MUSIC PERPETUATES A FEELING OF A DISCONNECTION TO THE REST OF THE CITY AND THE LARGER WORLD. CALATRAVA REALLY UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT MEANS TO CREATE ANOTHER WORLD THAT AN INDIVIDUAL CAN PERSONALIZE.
YET, CALATRAVA SURPRISED ME THE MOST WITH HIS WORK AT NIGHT FOR [PURE NIGHT LIVE FUN] :). THE SMOOTH TRANSITION FROM L'UMBRACLE, A TOURIST HOTSPOT BY DAY, TO AN EXCLUSIVE SOCIAL PARTY AT NIGHT BLEW MY BREATH AWAY. MR. PALOMAR, IS THIS THE PURE ESSENCE OF ARCHITECTURE?
SO STUDENTS OF SUMMER SPAIN 2015, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU STOP BY CALATRAVA'S WORK BY NIGHT AND TRULY EXPERIENCE A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE. :D
