...construction from these years has been fairly conventional, though - this is still a city where the developer's box rules. But in one part of town, the rules have changed. On June 2 the venerable Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) will officially open a new addition designed by the architect Daniel Libeskind in his most implacable and declarative style. And with that, the boomtown will be getting a building that goes boom all by itself...
...work with and keenly interested in politics. He started in the Reagan era as a prot?g? of Jim Baker's at the Treasury Department and followed Baker to the State Department during the presidency of George Herbert Walker Bush. During those four years, Zoellick was a behind-the-scenes architect for the reunification of Germany, the expansion of NATO and many of the complex negotiations that attended the end of the Cold...

In the late 1990s, when MOMA was in the first stages of a major expansion, the late Kirk Varnedoe, then chief curator of painting and sculpture, made a point of consulting with architect Yoshio Taniguchi to make sure that the museum's new second floor would be strong enough to hold the tonnage of the typical late Serra work. He did that because by those years it was obvious that the time was coming soon for a very big Serra show. And that was because Serra, whose work had once seemed as severe...
