...Appartement 217 was renovated by the architect Arnaud Montigny (who did Colette) to appear loftlike and informal. Everything is organic (apart from the furniture?"I couldn't find anything stylish," he says), ranging from the naturally pigmented paint on the walls to the mineralized water to the terry-cloth robes made from organic cotton. Nevertheless, Jaulin has avoided the Zen music trap, dismissing it as "not very Paris" and opting instead for a mix of rhythm and blues played, sotto voce, over the speakers. "The point of this place is to experience well-being, lightness and joy, and I want...
Deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove, the architect one last time, says he is confident that voters will buy the President's message. "Given a choice between doing the job and walking away, they will want to do the job," Rove tells TIME. "Given a choice between winning and losing, the American people will always pick winning." But the trouble for Bush is that, at the moment, lots of folks think he lacks a winning formula. In a TIME poll last month, 63% of those surveyed disapproved of the President's handling of the Iraq...
Technically speaking, it's a substitution of capital for management. The $455 million, 63,400-seat arena, designed by architect Peter Eisenman with HOK Sport and featuring the only retractable playing field in North America, is expected to do more than fatten the family's net worth.

The teams with new stadiums are consistently in the play-offs...
...addition is not much smaller than the museum's original building, a seven-story curiosity completed by Gio Ponti in 1971. Ponti was a significant figure in postwar Italian furniture and product design, but as an architect--he produced just a handful of buildings--he was the kind of man who could imagine that a castle keep, complete with a few stray crenellations and slit windows that any medieval archer would appreciate, was just the thing for an art museum. You can't really add to an armor-plated canister like the one he provided in Denver. So Libeskind...
...museum is a great showcase for an architect but also a challenge. To protect the art, most museums keep windows to a minimum, which eliminates one of the main tools for making surfaces come alive. So for the exterior of the Denver museum, Libeskind chose more than 9,000 panels of titanium, the same material that covers Gehry's celebrated Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. It's a metal with a soft, refulgent glow and a variety of personalities. Gehry's titanium has a slightly golden cast. Libeskind's shifts from gray to silver and even to a peachy ocher...
