Now, THAT's interesting! Do you have any (preferably online) references?

From todays online Telegraph;

"The modern design was the concept of Enric Miralles, the late Catalan
architect who attracted the headline "El Collapso" when the roof of a
sports centre he designed fell down in Spain.

The builder was to blame for that collapse, but the headline was
gleefully recalled yesterday in the corridors of Holyrood.

The engineering firm Ove Arup was responsible for bringing his ideas to
fruition in Edinburgh, and its engineers were examining the structure."
