Santiago Calatrava, the Spanish architect selected to design a new train and subway station at the World Trade Center site in New York, is an inventive architect, engineer, and sculptor. But does his work capture the emotions needed at Ground Zero?

The New York Times sees uplifting spirituality in Calatrava's work, but Slate magazine calls Calatrava's designs "pristine" and "aloof."
