...With their tactile, outside view of country, it's fitting that Thomas' successors adorn the front of the Australian building. Painted to the left of the front doors is Paddy Bedford's Thoowoonggoonarrin, the former stockman's maternal homeland. In tones of blue-black and pinky-white, his diamond-sharp eye excavates the land from above. Raised in relief across three storeys of the fa?ade above are the jimbala spearheads of Lena Nyadbi's paternal country. These spearheads were also used to tattoo the skin of young initiates, and even from oceans away, the architects could feel the artist...
...better,” she says. The seven clusters of gray concrete that compose Charlesview Apartments contrast sharply with the white finish of its neo-Georgian neighbor, Harvard Business School (HBS). The stairwells smell like rotting metal and the concrete steps are worn. American flags and Easter baskets adorn the scratched red and blue doors. Bicycles and television buzz overflow into the landings. Inside the apartments there is wall-to-wall carpeting, a couch, a television. Some contain two stories and many open onto private decks.

In the offices of Houston-based Vanco Energy Corp., of which Van Dyke is chairman, you can see where this wildcatter is placing his bets. African tribal masks and art adorn the lobby and a 6-ft.-high, full-color topographical map of the African continent dominates one wall. Van Dyke has spent more than $100 million looking for oil in his West African patch, and early results were promising enough that ExxonMobil, Shell, Unocal and France's Total have signed...
...diversity, and with a menu as thick as a phone book boasting these as well as more than 1,100 beers from 60 other countries, this cellar bar is a shrine to the brewer's art. In dimly lit surroundings, old enameled advertisements and colorful backlit beer posters adorn the walls, while wooden beer kegs double as tables. It's here that customers can risk curiosities like Tahitian Hinano beer, Baadog from Mongolia, Black Sheep from the Faroe Islands, and fruit and chocolate beers. For $150 you can try a bottle of Framboise Boon 1986, an award-winning, vintage, limited...
