USF is constructing a new Polytechnic campus in Lakeland. They have hired architect Santiago Calatrava to design this project. Calatrava is known for many famous buildings like the Milwaukee Art Museum, and the Light Bridge in Jerusalem, Israel. Calatrava presented various models and drew some images that expressed his concepts behind the polytechnic campus. He said that it was an honor to visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s Florida Southern University, and that is where he gained his inspiration for this project. At the end, Calatrava showed a video on the 3D model of his design, and it just brought everything to life. His work is truly a master piece, and his presentation really inspired me. This 45 million dollar project will open in Summer 2012.
