That's goofy lazy thinking Captain. While this bridge was never going to be the the crowning achievement for Calatrava considering the small scale/budget/location compared to his other projects, to think that you can just pull a bridge like this out of your ass is showing an ignorance towards the profession. The engineering complexity of this thing alone is pretty amazing.
If he truly was lazy, he would've given us something from his usual bag of tricks (you know, something white and curvy). The fact that his firm went out of his way to give us something unique that you've never seen in his portfolio is a testament to the effort going into it.
Feel free to hate the aesthetics and selection process, but calling it lazy is just goofy.
