The Men in Black 3 trailer shows a hybrid of sci-fi and comedy. The film shows elements of sci-fi with clips of futuristic weapons, new technologies, aliens and time travel. The new technologies that are shown in this trailer show a memory eraser and a stop watch which he uses to travel back in time. Time travel is typical is some sci-fi movies. The aliens are common in most sci-fi movies and of the 'Men in Black' films as they are both agents who defend the galaxy from alien threats. (Alien threats are also common in sci-fi movies) The time travel stop watch is used to travel back in time for 'Agent J' to stop a alien from assassinating his partner 'Agent K', in the trailer this shows agent 'J' jumping off a building with the stop watch set to the year 1969. The comedy side of the trailer shows familiar gags from the Men in Black films like the use of the neutraliser (memory eraser) which is used on people if they have just seen a alien. The trailer ends with agent 'J' waking up in agent 'K's office. Agent J: "K?" Agent K: How do you know my name?" showing he has traveled back in time.

The City of Arts and Sciences (Valencian: Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, Spanish: Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) is an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. It is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia.
The City of Arts and Sciences is situated at the end of the former riverbed of the river Turia, which was drained and rerouted after a catastrophic flood in 1957. The old riverbed was turned into a picturesque sunken park.
Designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, the project underwent the first stages of construction in July 1996 and the finished "city" was inaugurated April 16, 1998 with the opening of L'Hemisfèric. The last great component of the City of Arts and Sciences, El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, was presented on October 9, 2005, Valencian Community Day.
Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Architect: Santiago Calavara
Beginning around 1872, multiple organizations were founded in order to bring an art gallery to Milwaukee, as the city was still a growing port town with little or no facilities to hold major art exhibitions. Over the span of at least nine years, all attempts to build a major art gallery had failed. In 1881, exhibitions were held at Milwaukee's Exposition Hall, which was Milwaukee's primary event venue at the time. Shortly after that year, Alexander Mitchell donated all of her collection into constructing Milwaukee's first permanent art gallery in the city's history.
The art gallery, the Quadracci Pavilion, was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The Reiman Bridge, also designed by Calatrava, connects to the pavilion and provides pedestrian access to and from downtown. With the exception of the temporary exhibition gallery, the galleries are contained in both the Saarinen building and a 1975 addition designed by local architect David Kahler. This addition was commissioned in 1969 to make room for other exhibits and donations.
