Not bigger, just more.
Calatrava's design will have movable glass-and-steel sections. "The idea was for a building that would be like a pair of hands," Calatrava says. "The hands can be brought together in prayer or they can be opened to the sky."

If it's a Calatrava, it's likely to be damn near un-buildable.
Cal. designed the Milwaukee Art Museum addition; supposed to be about $100MM, and came in WAAAAAAYYYYYY over because he spec's stuff that's never been done, never been tested.
Knowing only that it's Calatrava, I'd pitch it and start again.
Too bad. Vigneron's a good guy.
