Calatrava's City of Arts and Science, Valencia, Spain

The City of Arts and Sciences, developed by Santiago Calatrava, is a large-scale urban recreation center for culture and science which also incorporates L’Oceanogràfic, an underwater city designed by the late Felix Candela.

Quote: "A truly mind-blowing confection of some of Europe's most awesome architecture, the City of Arts and Science in Valencia is fast becoming one of Spain's top tourist attractions. This futuristic "city within a city" must surely rank as one of the world's most exciting and imaginative millennium projects. The entire complex, designed to celebrate the arrival of the 21 st century, looks as though it might have been beamed down to earth from another planet.
A must see video below will transport you now. Get ready for the 23 Century!

My design philosophy stems from the beauty within an element. Knowing how to highlight these unique elements allow us to achieve a surreal focal point in a room. Creating an ‘interior that lifts your spirit’™ are my goals in achieving a successful interior design project. I emphasize colors derived from Mother Nature. These color palettes guide the mood within the space. Listening to the clients’ needs and getting that “special sense” in their own environment makes for the magical transformation from the early stages of space planning to the completed magnificent room.
