...home of the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, is an eye-catcher that's also suited to its purpose. Architect Frank Gehry crafted the exterior in the warped-metal style he made famous with his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Gehry designed the interior to mimic real-world business environments. An oval classroom is reminiscent of a corporate conference room. The classrooms are interspersed among faculty offices and meeting areas so the "bosses" and the "workers" can bump into one another. The school also boasts a high-speed computer network with ports...
These molecular structures are called fullerenes, or buckyballs, in honor of the American architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller. Smalley sits on the board of C-Sixty, a biotech company that builds fullerenes into molecules that researchers hope will attach to and deactivate HIV molecules and blow up cancer cells on cue. "Buckyballs are not quite like nanosubmarines that target deadly diseases"--as seen in the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage--"but because of their size and shape, they are well suited for drug discovery," says Stephen Wilson, co-founder of C-Sixty, based in Houston...

...many ways Rockwell is the anti-architect. Not for him the clinical cool so often associated with designers. He's warm and avuncular, the kind of guy who welcomes dogs and children in the office.

...Times Square, also by Gensler, is similarly divided into zones that let children act out their fantasies: Barbie merchandise is displayed in a life-size dream house, and an animatronic T. rex guards the dinosaur toys. One New York City Prada store, designed by the austerely hip Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, is more than half amusement arcade, with everything from glass dressing rooms that become opaque when locked to a fold-out stage for performances and movie screenings. Theme-park shopping isn't just for Disney World...
