Victor Caliandro: Master Planner of NYC Battery Park, etc.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Victor Caliandro, an urban designer and architect who helped create the master plan for New York's Battery Park City, died Friday. He was 58 and suffered a heart attack or stroke, said his wife, Maria.

Caliandro was a principal at Minneapolis architecture firm Cunningham Associates and an adjunct assistant professor at the University of Minnesota College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.

Caliandro worked on the master plan, housing guidelines and park for Battery Park City. For 10 years, he had his own firm, Caliandro & Associates, in the city.

In Japan, Caliandro designed the Pacifico Plaza in Yokohama and the Tenjin Galleria in Fukuoka.

In the Twin Cities, he worked on plans for developing Mississippi riverfront in St. Paul, transforming a decaying retail site in Brooklyn Park and redeveloping a busy intersection in south Minneapolis.

Two weeks ago, Caliandro led architecture students to New York to work on redevelopment plans for the World Trade Center site.
