Calatrava in hot water again? Famed architect charged to appear in court in Spanish construction case

In the wake of other legal troubles, Santiago Calatrava has been ordered to appear as a suspect in an investigation into a public construction contract in Spain, Reuters reports.

According to the report, Calatrava was paid $3.6 million for architectural models and design for a convention center in Castellon in 2008. The center was never built after Spain's economic crisis and resulting austerity drive.

The Valencia High Court has requested documents detailing how Calatrava was hired in private, without any publicity. For contracts over a certain minimum value, that is illegal in Spain.

Some public officials have also been charged in the case over the way the work was contracted. Calatrava is expected to appear before the Castellon provincial court on September 2.

Attendees will be given an exclusive technical tour of Wrigley Field, led by Steven J. Jacobsen, CDP, who has been retained by the Chicago Cubs to create the business plan and high-level concepts to evaluate the feasibility of various renovation options for this iconic sports venue; and Carl Rice, Cubs’ Vice President, Baseball Operations.
