Just because something is white doesn't make it liminal or barren, blank white spaces can use their shape to give them character and personality, which Calatrava undeniably does. No one ever accused his work of having undistinctive shaping.

Can we just actually fucking fix the train station part? All of this money should go to more platforms and more tunnels. Every cent spent on anything else is inexcusable.

You're saying this like Calatrava isn't absolutely brilliant. The dude's a terrible architect if you're on the paying end for any of his work but he is a pretty technically gifted architect and his work is undeniably unique and usually incredibly beautiful.

Not sure what axe you have to grind with architecture, but it reeks of the same attitude as "Modern art sucks" people.

You say that, but that's not always true. The police in Georgia executed an anti-police activist because they didn't like him, the Buffalo police killed an old man for protesting, it's not like eveeyone who does nothing wrong except annoy the police gets off unscathed.
