Calatrava

I found a big bridge in the west of Jerusalem when I walked around. It is designed by very famous Spanish architect Calatrava. It's for a tram or light rail transit. I heard someone criticize the bridge in terms with a landscape. Calatrava's bridge also provoke controversy in Venice a few years ago. Someone says modern style doesn't fit to an old city like Venice or Jerusalem.

I don't think so. I think such a new thing is needed in even an old city as Pompidou center in Paris was accepted by people after huge controversy.
